This repository contains the Buildout configuration for News, the centralized news source platform used by Walloon local authorities (pouvoirs locaux). It is part of the broader Smartweb ecosystem and integrates seamlessly with Plone 6-based Smartweb sites.
The News platform provides a shared environment where multiple local authorities can create, manage, and publish news articles. These articles can then be synchronized and displayed on Smartweb websites.
This buildout.news repository contains the complete Buildout setup to install, configure, and deploy the centralized Plone 6 instance used to manage news content.
- Provide a central point of truth for news data.
- Allow reuse of news content across multiple local authority sites.
- Enable integration with Smartweb via Solr or REST APIs.
Smartweb websites fetch news data from this centralized instance, enabling:
- Cross-site news publication
- Syndication by theme, location, or audience
- Better performance and consistency through external Solr indexing or REST API usage
Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests if you find bugs or want to improve the setup.
