bobtemplates.plone¶
Description
Overview of bobtemplates.plone features, compatibility and installation.
Introduction¶
bobtemplates.plone
provides a mr.bob template to generate packages for Plone projects.
To create a package like collective.myaddon
pip install bobtemplates.plone
mrbob -O collective.myaddon bobtemplates.plone:addon
You can also create a package with nested name space
mrbob -O collective.foo.myaddon bobtemplates.plone:addon
Note
With the plonecli, we have a nice commandline client for bobtemplates.plone. We highly recommend to use the plonecli, because it adds auto completion and some nice helpers to bobtemplates.plone.

Compatibility¶
Add-on’s created with bobtemplates.plone
are tested to work in Plone 4.3.x and Plone 5.
They should also work with older versions but that was not tested.
It should work on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Installation¶
Installation global for a user (recommended)¶
To have bobtemplates.plone
and the plonecli always avilable, it’s recommended to install it globally for your user.
pip install plonecli --user
This will install the plonecli
and bobtemplates.plone
. If you only want bobtemplates.plone
, you install only this package as follow:
pip install bobtemplates.plone --user
Installation in a Virtualenv¶
You can also install bobtemplates.plone
in a Virtualenv.
pip install bobtemplates.plone
With pip 6.0
or newer mr.bob
will automatically be installed as a dependency. If you still use a older version of pip you need install mr.bob
before bobtemplates.plone
.
pip install mr.bob
Use plonecli and bobtemplates.plone¶
You can use the bobtemplates now with the plonecli
:
plonecli create addon src/collective.foo
cd src/collective.foo
plonecli add content_type
plonecli build test serve
mrbob bobtemplates.plone:addon -O collective.foo
cd src/collective.foo
mrbob bobtemplates.plone:content_type
virtualenv .
./bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
./bin/buildout
./bin/test
./bin/instance fg
Changing the default Python and Plone versions¶
By default you will build a virtualenv with Python2.7 and a buildout Plone 5.2. You can change this by customizing the buildout.cfg to extend one of the other test file, like test_plone43.cfg. Also you can change the requirements.txt to point to another constraints file like constraints_plone43.txt.
Additional information on plonecli and mrbob¶
See plonecli and mr.bob documentation for further information.
Installing and using it in a buildout¶
[buildout]
parts += mrbob
[mrbob]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
mr.bob
bobtemplates.plone
This creates a mrbob-executable in your bin-directory.
Call it from the src
-directory of your Plone project like this.
../bin/mrbob -O collective.foo bobtemplates:addon
