"plonified" is ZPT based COREBlog skin. With plonified, you can put COREBlog instance inside Plone site. Design/presentation of Plone site will be overridden in COREBlog's design.

plonified is to be used with COREBlog 1.2 or grater.

NOTICE:COREBlog 1.2 is "not" Plone savvy. So some "Plonic function" doesn't wrok properly - such as content tab,bread clumb,navigation portlet and so on. And, "preview" doesn't work.

NO PLAN TO SUPPORT THESE BUG. Proper Plone integration will be re-imprementation.

Anyway, now you can use COREBlog with Plone, with some restriction. This will be help for some people, I think :-).

Using plonified skin

"plonified" is bundled with COREBlog 1.2 or later. User of former version should use this zexp file and import your "skins" folder.

Next, please go to "Settings" tab, and click "Skin setting" link. You will see "plonified" skin in pulldown menu. Choose plonified, and push "Change skin" button.

That's all :-).

Property changes

Property "footer" conflicts plones footer slot. So, in COREBlog 1.2, property id "footer" changes to "footer_desc". When you change skin to "plonified", maintainance method called automaticaly. Otherwise, call "container.update_footer_prop()" manually to change property id.

Portlets / Slots

ZPT in plonified override Plone's main_template, using "metal". So you can use left_slots / right_slots property to set portlets in you blog.

Click "Property" tab in your ZMI and add right_slots / left_slots. Type should be "lines".

"plonified" is accompanied by 7 portlets. Put line you wish in left/right_slots.
