The EEA Reports Product can be used to organise printed publications that are available online for download. Such Reports usually have a publication date, order and ISBN numbers, an author and exist in several language versions.
This package came out as an extension of slc.publications developed by Alexander Pilz and if slc.publications allow you to subtype file-type contents, eea.reports allow you to subtype folderish content.
Once stored in the Report Product, they can be displayed using autogenerated overviews.
The easiest way to get eea.reports support in Plone 4 using this package is to work with installations based on zc.buildout. Other types of installations should also be possible, but might turn out to be somewhat tricky.
To get started you will simply need to add the package to your “eggs” and “zcml” sections, run buildout, restart your Plone instance and install the “eea.reports” package using the quick-installer or via the “Add-on Products” section in “Site Setup”.
You can download a sample buildout at:
http://svn.eionet.europa.eu/repositories/Zope/trunk/eea.reports/buildouts/plone4/
Optional: pdfinfo to parse pdf metadata (part of the xpdf package).
yum install xpdf (fedora) apt-get install xpdf (debian)
Optional: pdftk and ImageMagick (6.3.7+) convert to generate a cover image from a pdf file.
yum install pdftk (fedora) apt-get install pdftk (debian)
yum install ImageMagick apt-get install imagemagick
