Portlet for Twitter

[Fieldway]

Hi

I'm new here and been using Plone for a couple of months.

My build is Plone 3.2.2, CMF 2.1.2, Zope (Zope 2.10.7-final, python 2.4.4, win32), Python 2.4.4 (#71, Oct 18 2006, 08:34:43) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] and PIL 1.1.6 all install on my WHS machine.


Just wondering is their a portlet for Twitter?  I found one at http://plone.org/products/twitter-portlet/
which say add this  eggs =

    collective.twitterportlet

....

zcml =

    collective.twitterportlet

to your buildout.  As I'm in a windows environment I'm not sure what or how to do this.  Any help ideas would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

>From memory, as of Plone 3.2.x all platforms should be buildout-based.
If you'd like to use the twitter-portlet, just add it to your
PLONE_INSTALL_DIR\Data\buildout.cfg file and rerun PLONE_INSTALL_DIR\bin
\buildout.exe.

HTH,
Tim

P.S. I don't have a windows buildout setup infront of me so going from
memory.

Thanks for that. After hunting for a while I found the buildout.cfg under c:/plone. I edit/add the info and rerun buildout by double clicking on it. I also found a site on Python saying very similar http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.twitterportlet I added the collection Twitter to production direction and restart the whole computer and went to add on and it wasn’t there. Can you advise me where I’m going wrong Thanks Wayne

Sorry you'll need to provide a bit more information in order for us to
help you. Also, you don't need to restart the computer when adding
python packages.

Can you clarify:
- have you added 'collective.twitterportlet' to your buildout.cfg file?
- have you rerun c:\plone\bin\buildout.exe (or wherever it is)?
- did any error messages appear at any stage and if so what were these?

This[1] is a good howto re. how to ask questions in such a way as to
help those assisting you.

Thanks,
Tim

It's been a long time (pre-buildout) since I tried running Plone on Windows, so can't directly help with this question. However:

I used to find that running things such as Plone commands from the command line on Windows was much more useful than double-clicking. If you've double-clicked and the program hits an error, it will probably just exit. From the command line, the same thing will happen but the command window will stay open so that you can see what happened.

cheers

Shaun

+1 I was oversimplifying the exercise for Wayne but this is invaluable.
