Introduction
------------

This is a list of Silva related Zope Products and Silva extensions.

Legend
------

I - Usable independently of Silva.
E - Silva extension.
X - Included in the Silva-extra tarball.


Groups 0.4 (IX)
---------------

Groups support is optional; Silva should run without the Groups
product installed. Groups use a rather hackish technique called
'monkey patching' to hook groups support into the Silva core, and this
may conflict with other products that do the same. If you get strange
behavior, removing the Groups product and restarting Zope will safely
remove it.

See INSTALL.txt for details on how to install Groups.

To start using the Groups definitions, a "Groups Service" is
needed. Once the Groups Filesystem Product is installed, such a
service can be added to the Silva Root via the ZMI. This service
should have ``service_groups`` for its id.

LDAPUserFolder 2.3 (IX)
-----------------------

The LDAP User Folder is a user folder replacement for Zope that
authenticates Zope users against LDAP.

Compatibility: LDAPUserFolder versions 2.4.0 beta1 and higher require
Python 2.2.3 and higher, and in order to use the User ID/Login
separation you need a Zope version higher than 2.7.0.

ExtFile 1.4.2 (IX)
------------------

If you plan to manage large upload files with Silva, you may want to
avoid storing them in the ZODB, instead putting them in the filesystem
of your server. You can do this by install ExtFile (see INSTALL.txt
for more details).

MailDropHost 1.9 (IX)
---------------------

The MaildropHost product provides support for sending email from
within the Zope environment using MaildropHost objects. Unlike the
built-in MailHost object, the sending is done asynchronously from a
separate process.

SilvaExternalSources 0.10 (EX)
------------------------------

External Sources can integrate with SilvaDocument so that data coming
from arbitrary Python sources, SQL databases or CSV (comma separated
values) can be shown inside SilvaDocuments.
