The Challenge:

Additionally two new types of content with forms for entering them and three new portlets had to be developed. They were to automatically present slideshows of pictures for a particular portlet and provide captions from a specific place within the site. Another important requirement was automated content acquiring for a particular content type from any location within the site.

The Solution:

The solution was to migrate the Web site to Plone 3.0. The new types of content with forms for entering them and the new portlets were created. Modifications in the Web site allowed for collecting pictures and presenting them as slideshows. According to the requirements of the client, automated content acquiring for a particular content type was developed.
