Thanks to a tweet by @pypi I discovered collective.backtowork, created by Patrick Gerken.

Are you using a jQuery plugin, for instance jQuery UI, to spice up the Django admin site? Then you might get either an error like “foo is not a function” (Firebug) or “Object … has no method foo” (Chrome Developer Tools). Confused because foo should be defined in the plugin? Don't worry, the solution is simple.

A lightning talk by Thijs Jonkman at the Dutch Plone User Day once again brought Compass to my attention. I've read about it on other occasions, but I never actually tried it. But Thijs really wet my appetite. 

This article is a short example of how to use a list as a value of a dict when using plone.app.registry. Perhaps a similar example is already in the docs, but I could not find it when I was looking for it. And since it took me some trial and error to get it right, I figured I could just as well post my solution.

A tale of how I learned about PostgreSQL sequence generators the hard way.

After migrating a Plone 2.5 site to Plone 3, I got a UnicodeEncodeError when viewing the site.

One of the things that was still on my wish list for this site, was a proper search. In two articles I will explain how I've done this. The previous article described why I picked Djapian. This article focusses on some of the technical aspects of my setup.

Initially I was a bit sceptic about Fabric. After all, I'm already using buildout to manage projects. “How much better can it get?” After watching the video of the Django Deployment Workshop (held by Jacob Kaplan-Moss at PyCon 2010 Atlanta), I finally decided to see for myself what Fabric is all about.

After a bit of experimentation I've succeeded in moving an existing Plone 3.3.5 from the normal FileStorage storage (in other words a ZODB in a Data.fs file) to RelStorage using PostgreSQL. This is a blog post about what I needed to change in the buildout configuration and which resources I used.
