Installation
The easiest way to install Hamnavoe is to include it in a buildout. You can find out more on using buildout with Plone in this tutorial: Managing projects with zc.buildout.
In your buildout file, include the following lines:
Under the eggs = section in your buildout file (e.g. buildout.cfg), add plonetheme.hamnavoe, i.e.
[buildout]
eggs =
plonetheme.hamnavoe
In the same file under [instance] (or [clientx] if using Zeo), add plonetheme.hamnavoe i.e.
zcml = plonetheme.hamnavoe
and re-run buildout. This will download and install Hamnavoe for you. You can then install this into your Plone site using “Add-on Products” (or “Add / remove products” depending on which version of Plone 3 you are using) via your site’s “Site’s setup” link (usually in the top right hand corner of your site). You can also install via the ZMI using the portal_quickinstaller or via portal_setup
To install plonetheme.hamnavoe into the global Python environment (or a workingenv),
using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:
* When you’re reading this you have probably already run
“easy_install plonetheme.hamnavoe“. Find out how to install setuptools
(and EasyInstall) here:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
* Create a file called “plonetheme.hamnavoe-configure.zcml“ in the
“/path/to/instance/etc/package-includes“ directory. The file
should only contain this::
<include package=”plonetheme.hamnavoe” />
Customisation
Banner image
To replace the banner image with your own, upload a file with the filename “banner.jpg” to the root of your site, or create a new image with the id “banner.jpg” in your site’s portal_skins/custom folder in the ZMI. The image should have the following dimensions:
990 pixels (width) x 200px (height)
The banner image is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 2.0 Generic licence

CSS
You can customise Hamnavoe’s CSS as you wish by customising hamnavoe.css (in the portal_skins/plonetheme_hamnavoe_styles) folder in to your portal_skins/custom folder. Internet Explorer fixes are in IEFixes.css in the same folder.
Strapline
By default the theme will use the site’s title to generate the strapline. If you wish to change this, create a Page Template in your site’s portal_skins/custom directory with the ID “strapline”. This should contain the text you wish you display or your own code.
Issue tracker
Please report any problems on the issue tracker.

I installed version 1.0.1 on a virgin (almost) site.
Problems:
1. The main part of the pages appears on a left side, the 2 portlet columns on the right.
2. The navigation portlet is not formatted as it appears on your site, but the old fashioned default plone way.

Hi,
It sounds like that’s what the site is supposed to look like. Please check the screen shot on plone.org or take a look at this demo site. If it looks substantially different to this, please let me know:
1. which version of Plone you’re using
2. which browser you’re looking at the site in.
3. Might be useful to send a screenshot too
NB, this site (littled.net) does not use Hamnavoe, it’s a custom Wordpress theme.

Hi,
I am attempting to install the latest version on plone3 however I get the following error:
error: docs/HISTORY.txt: No such file or directory
No idea how to fix this, but apparently it’s a packaging issue.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi,
Argh! I saw this problem during development and it seemed to be a problem with the paster template I’d used. I thought I’d fixed this but obviously not.
Did you use buildout to install? You could always try adding this to your buildout file under eggs=
plonetheme.hamnavoe==1.0.1
Anyhow, could you let me know how you installed? Looks like there might be a residual problem somewhere which I’ll iron out.
Thanks for letting me know,
David

Hi,
This should be fixed now. For some reason the docs/ folder was missing in the tar.gz file. Let me know if you have any further problems or report them on the issue tracker.
