Products
WebLion has developed a variety of add-on products for Plone. Here are our most popular. Links go to sites where you can read more about and obtain each product.
Introduction to products
Covers: what is a product, where can you get products, general advice on products, how to install a product.
CSS Manager
Aids rapid, through-the-web theming, by allowing users to modify the colors, fonts and other elements of visual styling. Suitable for people without much technical knowledge, and for CSS experts wanting to try out styles quickly. Removes the need to go into the ZMI to enable CSS debug mode.
Faculty/Staff Directory
Provides content types for creating and organizing personnel directories within educational institutions. Integrates with Plone's users and groups infrastructure and supports an extensibility framework for custom requirements.
CustomNav
Helps you create highly customized navigation portlets. Starting point, content type filtering, and other, arbitrary catalog query constraints can all be straightforwardly customized. Also, since CustomNav uses the same underlying machinery as the standard navigation portlet, it is consistent with Plone's stock user interface and likely to be forward compatible.
AD54Elements
Enables sites to comply with Penn State policy AD54. Adds a PSU logo, a place for your departmental or unit wordmark, an AD54-compliant search box, and a Penn State footer. Can be checked out from the WebLion Subversion repository.
apachepas
Configures Zope so users known to your LDAP, Kerberos, Shibboleth, or Pubcookie system—or any other system which has an Apache authentication module—can transparently log in using their enterprise-wide credentials.
AutoMemberMaker
Lets your Plone site trust an enterprise authentication system. Grants incoming users the Member role and makes member folders for them. Using apachepas and AutoMemberMakerPasPlugin, you can configure your Plone site so users known to a system which has an Apache authentication module (e.g. LDAP, Kerberos, Shibboleth, or CoSign/WebAccess) can transparently log in using enterprise-wide credentials.
QuickReinstaller
Adds a "reinstall" link next to the installed products shown on the Add/Remove Products page in Plone. Cuts down on the number of page loads necessary to reinstall a product. Can be checked out of the WebLion Subversion repository.
GloWorm
A Firebug-like tool that allows you to delve into the code (TAL, METAL, Python) underlying your site. A point-and-click interface lets you highlight something on your screen and see what template or script produced it. Currently in alpha stage.
