Using third-party behaviors

Add teaser with collective.behavior.banner

There are a lot of addons in Plone for sliders/banners/teasers. We thought there should be a better one and created collective.behavior.banner.

Like many addons it has not yet been released on pypi but only exists as code on github.

The training-buildout hold a section [sources] that tells buildout to download a specific addon not from pypi but from some code repositiory (usually github):

[sources]
collective.behavior.banner = git https://github.com/collective/collective.behavior.banner.git [email protected]:collective/collective.behavior.banner.git rev=af2dc1f21b23270e4b8583cf04eb8e962ade4c4d

Pinning the revision saves us from being surprised by changes in the code we might not want.

After adding the source, we need to add the egg to buildout:

eggs =
    Plone
    ...
    collective.behavior.banner
    ...

And rerun ./bin/buildout

  • Install the addon
  • Create a new dexterity-ct Banner with only the behavior Banner enabled.
  • Create a folder called banners
  • Add two banners into that folder using images taken from http://lorempixel.com/800/150/
  • Add the Behavior Slider to the default-contenttype Page (Document)
  • Edit the frontpage and link to the new banners.
