hi david thanks for updating the installation instructions. i'm new to getpaid and wondered why i need a separate recipe. your posting about installing it on a plone4 site (http://www.mail-archive.com/getpaid- d...@googlegroups.com/msg00947.html) helped me a lot.
using buildout functionality directly instead of the recipe is definitely a good thing. although the recipe is handy since it categorizes the available addons in paymentprocessors, shipping, discount, etc http://bit.ly/94SkRm i'm not sure if the recipe has taken care of that: addons using overrides zcml (such as getpaid.paypal) should update their installation instructions to show how to use them in a plain buildout. maybe it's a good thing to add such an example in the install documenation too. to prevent newbie copy-paste errors i'd comment out the additional hints in the buildout snippets eggs = ... Products.PloneGetPaid getpaid.paypal # (list other getpaid add-ons here) zcml = getpaid.paypal getpaid.paypal-overrides regards, harald David Glick wrote: > Hello all, > > I just took a bit of time to update the directions for how to install > GetPaid, since getpaid.recipe.release has not been updated to work on > Plone 4.* The new document is at > http://code.google.com/p/getpaid/wiki/InstallingGetPaid, and covers the > use of the recipe in Plone 3 and the use of version pins and find-links > in Plone 4. > > GetPaid users: I'd appreciate it if you could review the new docs to > make sure I didn't make any critical errors or omissions. > > GetPaid developers (of both core and add-ons): You'll notice that the > new installation instructions include a list of version pins for getpaid > packages that are compatible with Plone 4.
