Making private personal pages
Here's the recipe (using my user-name as an example):
- log in
- connect to your member folder (by clicking the
my folderlink in the title bar) - Click on
Switch to Contents viewin the left hand marginnavigationbox - Create a new folder within your member folder. You do this by pulling down the pull-down list that says
selectand choosingFolder, then clicking onadd new item. This takes you to... - The
Edit Folder Propertiesscreen. Enter the name (which goes in URLs) and title of (what shows up on the screen) your new folder. I named mine "group-vis-folder" and gave it the title "Group Visible Items" - Next, you need to set the protections so that non-Fluid folks can't see the folder or its contents. Do this as follows:
- Using the
navigationbox in the left column, navigate your way to the folder you just created inside your personal member folder. - make sure you are in "Item View". If not, click on
Switch to Item viewto get there. - Go up to your browser's URL bar. Type
/manageafter the URL showing there (In my case, this is "http://.../dfsuther/group-vis-folder"), and hit a carriage-return. This will take you to the Zope Management Interface for your newly created folder. - Click on the
Securitytab near the top of the window in the right-hand pane. - Scroll down to find the line for "View". The list is alphabetic, so it's near the bottom.
- Uncheck the boxes for Acquire and Anonymous, and make sure that the boxes for Authenticated, Manage, Member, Owner, and Reviewer are checked.
- Do the same for the
access contents informationline... - ... and the
List Folder Contentsline. - Scroll down a little farther and click the
Save Changesbutton. This will take you to a... - "Your changes have been saved" page. Click the
OKbutton. - You're done with Zope. Go back to the Fluid web pages by way of your favorite link.
- Using the
- Navigate your way back to your personal folder. The
my folderbutton in the Plone title bar is a convenient way to get there. - Edit your Home Page to have a link to the "Group Visible Items" folder. If you followed this example, and if you use Structured Text, your link might look like:
"Group Visible Items":group-vis-folder -- The contents of this folder are visible only to members of the Fluid Group.
- Now you can put project-private information into the folder you created. The link to the folder will be visible to the general public. The folder itself, and all of its content will be visible only to logged-in members on the web site.
