Essentially, the issue is that Deliverance doesn’t theme (and rightly so) the Kupu editor within Plone and hence any styles applied to normal pages by Deliverance don’t show up.  (more…)

Rightio!  So we’ve got Plone 4.0a2 installed and up and running.  Boy, she looks sweet:

Plone's new theme

It’s been a little bit of time since my last post, and who can blame me with my site having been down for almost 2 full days over the last week!  I’m not paying that much for the webspace, thankfully, but if I was, I’d be seeing red over it.  Apparently some patch for MySQL broke everything; imagine how it looked to see my site with a ‘500 internal error’ plastered all over it and not being able to access my cPanel.  Ugh.

Anyway, everything’s back again, assuming that you can see this.  Okay?  Great!

Today’s conundrum presented itself very, very strangely.  People couldn’t change their password in Plone (which effectively breaks registration if a user has to select a password).  The Plone site we have was being themed by Deliverance.

Just responded to a post on the Plone Nabble forums (here) about how to re-order viewlets.  In particular, this one is little different (but not terribly so) because the original poster wanted to put the breadcrumbs above the global sections (global tabs in Plone).  Normally, this is straight forward because you just use a Generic Setup profile (viewlets.xml) and use an order manager to move your viewlet.  This, however, is a teeny bit more complicated because you’ve got one viewlet that’s outside of another viewlet manager.
