[PloneDavis-Discuss] Troubleshoot add-on Install

Discussion:

So I'm trying to install
https://github.com/4teamwork/ftw.pdfgenerator

Pypi link was broken so I switched to a git checkout and put it in the
eggs and the develop section, reran buildout and restart plone service.

But I can't find it anywhere in Plone or Zope. Do I need to be running
in debug mode to use developer eggs? Any other ideas about where to look
for a useful log message (I saved the buildout log and it looks correct
to me, even installed dependencies of the tool I want).

Alternately anyone know of a pdf generator for plone that can handle
recursion into subfolders? aws.pdfbook was nice but only does a single page.

Thanks,
Alex

So all development eggs should land in the src directory. Typically I
check things out from git manually into my src (so that I know they are
there) and then add them to my buildout. If you're using mr.developer, it
has git support tools. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mr.developer

No knowledge on the PDFs, sorry.

Well, basically I did a git clone to ftw.pdfgenerator folder in src/
Then added it to the eggs and the develop section.
Then did buildout, which clearly say ftw.pdfgenerator because it
downloaded and installed the deps. -- mako etc...
But on restart of plone I have no idea where to find the add-on because
it doesn't show in any of the usual places.

Was hoping someone else might want to try installing and see if they can
figure out what the deal is.

Thanks,
Alex

Ahh okay. So you likely need to add it to the zcml slug portion of
buildout, otherwise it won't show up.

Try adding it here:

# ZCML Slugs
# ----------
# Some eggs need ZCML slugs to tell Zope to
# use them. This is increasingly rare.
zcml =
# plone.reload
collective.castle

I will try an install today and see if I can figure out why it's not
working for you.
