Install Products.PloneKeywordManager in Cookieplone Setup

Plone Support
1

I created a Plone 6 project using Cookiecutter Plone. How can I install and configure Products.PloneKeywordManager in this setup . What’s the recommended way to integrate it?

2

In the generated backend folder is a file setup.py. There is a section 'install_requires- add there a line"Products.PloneKeywordManager",`.

An alternative way is to append this dependency as Products.PloneKeywordManager to requirements.txt. Both works, I tend to use the first way.

I am not sure if there are additional steps for a Volto integration?

I followed your advice regarding adding Products.PloneKeywordManager to the backend project. Here's what I did:

  1. Added "Products.PloneKeywordManager" to the install_requires section of the setup.py file in the backend folder.

  2. Also appended Products.PloneKeywordManager to the requirements.txt file as an alternative.

  3. Ran pip install -e . after updating setup.py.

  4. Installed dependencies from requirements.txt by running pip install -r requirements.txt.

  5. Restarted the backend server using bin/instance fg.

The server runs without any errors, and everything appears to load correctly. However, Keyword Manager does not appear in the Add-ons section of the Plone admin interface.

I’ve checked the logs, and there are no errors or warnings related to Products.PloneKeywordManager. I also verified that the package is installed in my environment using pip show Products.PloneKeywordManager.

Could you let me know if there are any additional steps I might be missing, or if this add-on requires specific configuration to appear in the Add-ons section?

Please try to add the line

  <include package="Products.PloneKeywordManager" />

to the configure.zcml file of the backend package.

add your add-on in the file backend/requirements.txt
add the add-on to zcml_package_includes in the file backend/instance.yaml

Actually i have installed the plone 6 using coockieplone, And after taking @stevepiercy advice I checked this documentation

and got the answer that I should add the line in backend/instance.yaml file
default_context:
zcml_package_includes: project_title, Products.PloneKeywordManager
and run the command make backend-build, after run command make backend-start and we will see the keywordManager in add-ons section.

FTR, @kartikaydev1 created another post with the same issue but a different title at:
