Unlike the ATReferenceBrowserWidget, archetypes.refencebrowserwidget uses an overlay instead of a popup to display the referencebrowser.

We contributed a few fixes.

URL: https://docs.plone.org/plone.api

First contribution in: 2012

Technologies Used: Python, Plone

Title: A Plone API.

Summary: The plone.api is an elegant and simple API, built for humans wishing to develop with Plone.

It comes with cookbook-like documentation and step-by-step instructions for doing common development tasks in Plone. Recipes try to assume the user does not have extensive knowledge about Plone internals. The intention of this package is to provide clear API methods for Plone functionality which may be confusing or difficult to access. As the underlying code improves some API methods may be deprecated and the documentation here will be updated to show how to use the improved code (even if it means not using plone.api).

Some parts of the documentation do not use plone.api methods directly, but simply provide guidance on achieving a task using Plone's internal API. For example, using the portal catalog (see 'Find content objects').

The intention is to cover 20% of the tasks any Plone developer does 80% of the time. By keeping everything in one place, the API stays introspectable and discoverable, important aspects of being Pythonic.

For several years, Nejc led the development of this popular Plone library that inspired many conference talks and beers given. Over the years more than 50 developers from all over the worlds contributed to the library. Development was taken over by the Plone Framework Team in 2014.

Client Consulting

enquos is the first comprehensive system to track, analyze, organize, and securely share nutrition, fitness, and health data, while providing tools for optimizing healthy choices.

We had a consulting gig to help them refactor their codebase to be more readable and friendly to developers, along with upping the test coverage percentage.

Syslab.com is a Munich based software development and consulting company founded in 1998. They create powerful web-based applications and content management systems for organizations, government bodies and multi-national companies.

As part of a consulting gig for them we helped them on major projects for their clients including The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, Denso Auto, and Star Alliance.

Six Feet Up is a company that develops, hosts and supports sophisticated enterprise content management and collaborative intranet projects.

We were consultants on one of the projects for their major customer.

Hexagon IT Oy was a Helsinki-based turnkey web service solutions provider. They provided services that include both development, maintenance and support.

We helped them migrate their main publishing platform from Plone 2.5 to Plone 4.

Consulting and training for deploying Plone sites to cloud servers.

Client wanted to migrate their sites from conventional shared Plone hosting solution to affordable dedicated servers. Cloud servers were the best choice based on what they wanted. We prepared a detailed guide on how to setup a CentOS cloud server for running Plone, how to migrate data to the server and how to handle domains and DNS. We gave additional input for their specific use-case and helped them achieve a successful migration.

The client was looking for a well-rounded introductory course in some of the commonly used technologies in the IT world.

The client wanted us to introduce four of his employees to the basics of databases, web applications, network infrastructure and general IT-related security. The course was carried out in tho parts.

In the first part we explained the general structure of a relational database (tables, relations, indexes). After the theory was explained attendees did some interactive exercises. With the help of the web interface phpMyAdmin we created a new database from scratch, built its schema and then performed some data queries on it. After that we learned how to export database to a file and how to restore database from the same file in case a server crashes. On top of that we briefly discussed how web applications use backend databases to provide dynamic content to website visitors.

In the second part we learned how to make a web application "visible" on the internet - one must open a hosting account and register a domain. We explained how DNS records need to be updated and how the DNS lookups and network routing are performed. At the end we looked at some of the most common IT security mistakes companies do and gave practical advice on how to avoid them.

We've been hired to "crowd-source" the development of a logo for new company Agrologistika.

We've done project specifications, published the contest on one of the main crowdsourcing websites for design, submitted feedback to designers and in the end showed the client the best picks.

Balanced Scorecards is a strategic performance management tool, which is used to measure efficiency of an organization not only in the financial sense, but also from the perspective of the so-called soft categories (employee happiness, company's public image, etc.). To demonstrate the usefulness of the BSC approach in assessing organizations, our client needed a prototype application for his research work. We developed this prototype using PHP and MySQL.

With the prototype application one was able to define a new organization and its internal hierarchical structure (various departments within the organization). After the structure was defined, a user could create many different types of scorecards and attach them to various departments. Based on these scorecards an application would then calculate the organization's score starting at the bottom of the department hierarchy. A user could then easily see, which departments do not perform as well as expected (and why) based on the criteria predefined by scorecards. And locating a problem is the first step towards solving it.

First release in: 2010

Technologies Used: Python, Plone, Buildout, Nginx, RichDocument, Supervisord

Summary: LifeInLjubljana.si is a portal that helps Erasmus students coming to Ljubljana to easily find a room and some company.

The website has three levels of users: Anonymous, Staff and Administrators. Anonymous are able to view information on the site. Staff members can manage default Plone content on the site (pages, images, etc.) alongside also managing Flats (adding and editing rooms, ratings, etc. ).

The main part of the site is the list of available flats/beds with an advanced search. Visitors can do a sorted search on several characteristics of a flat/bed.

When a booking is confirmed, Staff members enter this information on the site so visitors can always see updated information about when each room is free.

There is also integration with Google Maps. ŠOU provides a Google Map with Faculties represented as pins on the map. Also each room is represented as a pin on the map. The coordinates of there pins are then manually copied to product code, namely in config.py. The system automatically calculates distances from a Flat to the faculty. Search result sorting based on distance from a chosen faculty is also enabled.

When Erasmus students leaves Ljubljana, he is asked to provide rating of the room (from 1 to 5) and a short comment on the rating. Upon receiving this information (via email, etc.) Staff members enter this on the website.

Site news are implemented like a simple blog.

Forum is implemented by integrating Nabble mailing lists into the site.

This web system is currently deployed on a medium dedicated Cloud server to ensure a smooth experience for users and staff members.

First release in: 2010

Technologies Used: Nginx, CentOS, iptables, Munin, password managing

Summary: ŠOU needed a simple website to promote student demonstrations in Slovenia.

In the recent years they had many problems with attacks on similar sites so the highest priority was to ensure high availability.

We configured a stripped down CentOS instance, manually compiled Nginx with custom header strings and added some booby-traps for script-kiddies. Linux's default firewall, iptables, was used to deny access to non-authorized persons.

Access to the content of the website was protected with a personal key that each of the content managers received on a USB stick.

During the 4 week period before the demonstrations, the server didn't have even a single minute of downtime and have repelled all security breach attempts.

First release in: 2009

Technologies Used: Python, Plone, Buildout, Nginx, SSL, Supervisord, Sphinx, SMS dispatch module

Summary: Izterjevalec ("collector" in Slovenian) is a system for automatic notification about payments due. A client enters its debtors' data and the system automatically sends emails and SMS to remind the debtor to pay the invoice. The service leverages Company On Net™ verification process and practically eliminates fraudulent debt collections.

We used Plone as a basis for this project since we anticipated a multi-level user and permission model.

We built custom content types based upon default Plone content types and bound them to custom workflows. The user interface was kept similar to what Plone has by default. We added a special module for communicating with our SMS dispatch center via HTTP protocol.

We used crontab to run hourly tasks. On each full hour, a special script goes through the whole database and finds content that need SMS notification for. Then it generates the SMS text out of several pre-defined templates (based on the severity of delay) and information entered by customers. SMS is then relayed to the SMS dispatch center where it gets sent to the actual mobile device.

First release in: 2009

IMS-based services will enable all-IP person-to-person and person-to-content communications in a variety of modes - including voice, text, pictures and video, or any combination of these - in a highly personalized way.

Since the project was to be done on a minimal budget we took the freely available Plone theme called 'Nautica Theme' so no extensive work was needed for the design. What was left to do was create the basic layout of the site, set correct values in Site Settings and add some members with permissions to manage content.

The web system was deployed on our servers as part of our sponsorship program with EESTEC LC Ljubljana.

First release in: 2007

Technologies Used: Plone, Python

Summary: A presentation website for a group of 7 yearly publications for Slovenian youngsters.

The base for the project is default Plone CMS system. The design was based on a graphical template from a major template-reselling site. We customized it a bit to align it with Plone's layout. We stored all customized HTML and CSS in a classic Plone theme product. We also installed some third-party Plone add-ons such as RichDocument, PloneSurvey and PlonePopoll to suit the client's needs.

The idea was that each of the 7 yearly publications has a dedicated site, but all sites must be visually coherent enough that it's immediately apparent that they are related. So we chose a bit non-standard design with leaflets and made 7 different color variations. Now each site uses basically the same theme products, but with different color scheme.

Client decided to host the site themselves. They have been up and running for more than three years now.

First release in: 2007

Technologies Used: Plone, Python, Buildout, Nginx, Supervisord, RichDocument

Summary: A presentation website for a company delivering dynamic lubricating systems for industries ranging from steel, paper, wood, construction and food industry.

The system now has more than 3 years of uptime, running on a cost-effective small-sized virtual server.

First release in: 2007

Technologies Used: Plone, SSL, Python

Summary: A custom built Customer Relationship Manager for a company dealing with online skiing holidays booking.

The basis for this project was our own Plone-based internal CRM system which was one our first internal projects. We took what we learned and built a customized CRM system for our client.

The client used our CRM for keeping track of accommodation partners (hotels, apartments, chalets, etc.). The system enabled the client to add upcoming interactions (calls, emails, meetings, etc. ) for every single partner and assign these interactions to employees. Employees then had a "worklist" view for listing interactions that need to be handled today, tomorrow, in the next week and so on. All interactions were stored for future reference. Accommodation partners (hotels, apartments, etc.) were sorted by country and ski-resort.

All content objects were built on top of default Plone content types enabling content actions like cut/copy/paste, history and undo.

The system had more than 2 years of uptime, running on a cost-effective small-sized virtual server even though it stored thousands of different content objects (partners, interaction, etc.).

Access to the application was protected with an SSL certificate to ensure safe data transfer.

URL http://mladipodjetnik.si/

First release in: 2006 (ongoing development)

Technologies Used: Python, Plone, Buildout, CacheFu, PloneFormGen, Varnish, RichDocument, Supervisord, CentOS, phpBB

Summary: MladiPodjetnik.si is a portal for supporting entrepreneurship among students and other youngsters. It is a growing community with daily news, articles and events. All information, help and events is free of charge. The funding for the organization is based on advertising revenue and grants.

The project started as a hobby back in 2006. The first release was a Plone 2.5 based website with default content types and a freely available Plone theme. After a few months, the community started growing and we had to release the second version, which was still Plone 2.5 based but had a customized theme and more finely tuned roles and permissions.

Work on third version of the site began in late 2008 when the old site couldn't cope anymore with increasing traffic, content and modification requests. We based the new version on Plone 3.1 and heavily customized the default content types to suit the client's needs. The design was done completely in-house: from structural design, to graphical draft to the finally installable Plone theme product. The site's front page was made from scratch to squeeze in as much information as possible but still keep it user friendly.

Since advertising is the main income for the client the layout had to be designed in a way to allow efficient and customizable ads management. We used OpenX as a backend for ads management. Client also uses Aweber email marketing software. We created a custom portlet for displaying a registration form for aweber's mailing list and styled it to fit into the site well.

Workflows were also customized and new roles added to suit the client's publication process.

In 2011 the Plone 3.1 version was migrated to Plone 4.0 and the design was updated and rewritten in Diazo.

The website is currently running on top of Plone 4.2, contains in excess of 10.000 content objects. It receives more than 40.000 unique visitors per month. This meant that we had to finely tune the delivery of content to visitors to keep server costs down. MladiPodjetnik.si runs on a 2GB virtual server.

First release in: 2006

Technologies Used: Plone, Python, Buildout, Supervisord, LinguaPlone

Summary: A presentation website with internal document storage system for Local Committee Ljubljana of Electrical Engineering Students European Association - EESTEC.

Nejc Zupan, our lead developer, joined the IT Team of LC Ljubljana back in 2006. Together with other members they developed the site using Plone 2.5. They used Pyboom Plone theme and customized it to suit EESTEC's needs. Then they've set up the site structure, assigned permissions and added members.

Currently the system holds all information a visitor needs about LC Ljubljana. Member's of LC Ljubljana can edit all content on the page and add new news items and events.

There is also a private section where internal documents are stored. This way, information such as members' mobile phone numbers or home addresses are always at hand.

The website is bi-lingual as some content is translated to English (the main language being Slovenian). This was achieved with integrating the great LinguaPlone add-on.

The web system was deployed on our servers as part of our sponsorship program with EESTEC LC Ljubljana.
