The Lemon Ice release of GroupServer mostly consists of changes to the CSS.
- New layout, based on the layout of OnlineGroups.net.
- Two new color schemes (skins):
- Blue, based on the E-Democracy.org Forums
- Green, based on OnlineGroups.Net
- Fit and finish work to improve the look of GroupServer.
- Integration of the jQuery.UI code into the default CSS.
Work is now starting on GroupServer 11.01 — Baked Alaska with an Eye on the Soviets.
To update an existing GroupServer system to Lemon Ice you will have to update the package versions. To use the new skins you will have to update the virtual hosting.
Carry out the following steps to update the package versions.
Download the Lemon Ice tar-ball from the GroupServer download page
Uncompress the tar-ball.
Copy the file
groupserver-10.12/versions.cfg
to your existing GroupServer installation.In your existing GroupServer installation run:
$ ./bin/buildout -N
The virtual hosting will need to be updated in order to use the new skins. Without the new skins the default black-and-white color scheme will be shown. By default Zope is set up to provide the virtual hosting. To change the Zope setup carry out the following
- Log into the ZMI for your site.
- Select
virtual_hosting
. You should see the page for the Virtual Host Monster. - Select the
Mappings
tab. You should see a line that starts with the name of your site (gstest
by default) that is followed path to the site (/example/Content/example_site/
). - Add
++skin++gs_blue
to the end of the path for the blue skin. Alternatively add++skin++gs_green
for the green skin. - Click the Save Changes button.
- Visit the homepage your site (<http://gstest/> by default).
- Reload the page. You may need to hold down
