I am so glad to see the author himself is giving a helping hand! Thanks.

I went to install the product in plone and I notice one line in the log:
 INFO GenericSetup.properties Nothing to import.
Apparently I made a mistake in the filename of properties.xml. Duh! I knew it would be something stupid. But thanks for your help.

And I will move my questions like this one to the plone-user group.

Hello,

I am reading Martin Aspeli's new book and I find it is very helpful even for plone-newbie like me. Finally I have the feeling of "that makes sense"!

I'm glad. :)

By the way - plone-user would probably be am ore appropriate mailing list for this type of question, but don't worry.

Not surprisingly, I still have plenty questions. Here is one of them. I created profiles/default/properties.xml and I am trying to change the site title and description. I also updated the configure.zcml file in my product to use extension profile. If you read that book, I just did what is described in Chapter 5. Then I run a test to see if I changed the title: self.portal.getProperty('title'). But it is still "Plone site".

Does it work if you start up Plone and install it through portal_setup? If so, it's a problem with your test setup (in tests/base.py, if you're following the conventions int he book). If not, then you'll need to paste your code (configure.zcml, properties.xml at a minimum).

The plone test site started fine with just a couple deprecation warning. Does anyone have any idea how I can figure the problem out? And in general how do I debug profile and zcml? Here, say how do I check if my extension profile is used? What commands can I use in the pdb?

If it shows up in portal_setup, then at least your product registers (you didn't forget the ZCML slug, did you?) and portal_setup finds it.
