ZMSLabs - Open Research and Development Platform

ZMSLabs is a platform for open source and open content projects in context of the  ZMS Publishing System.

 ZMS (Zope based Content Management for Science, Technology and Medicine) is a complete solution for electronic publishing - in particular e-science purposes. The underlying efficiency-oriented publication model is the result of many consulting projects in recent years by  HOFF­MANN+LIE­BEN­BERG, Berlin. Modularity of the ZMS components and approved production processes turn ZMS into an uncomparably rapid tool.

Installation of ZMS Add-ons

ZMS supports online update sites for installing and updating of extensions and themes (since ZMS-2.11.1-740). At the moment there are two update sites enabled by default:

•  ZMS-Publishing Update Site
• ZMSLabs Update Site (powered by  CMESS)

You can edit $ZMS_HOME/import/configure.zcml resp. $ZMS_HOME/www/themes.zcml to fit your needs.

Extensions

Extensions are installed via Configuration > System > Import Configuration Package as .conf.zip-Files usually.
You can also import configurations for Languages, Meta-attributes, Content-objects, Paragraph-formats, Character-formats, Actions, Workflows and Filters as .xml-Files separately.

Examples are  ZMSMediaPlayer,  ZMSForum and  ZMSCaptcha - find more  resources at zms-publishing.com.

Themes

Themes are installed on ZMS setup as .zexp-Files usually.

You can also import a new theme or export the current theme via Configuration > Design > Theme afterwards.

Additional there is the ZMSThemeChanger extension available, which supports on-the-fly theme changing (requires special folder layout and calling of API-functions in templates - see ZMSThemes-Proposal for more information and YAML-3.1_examples theme for proof of concept).
