Information boxesΒΆ

Below are some information boxes which are used across this documentation.

Security warning: This box is used when the outcome of a function might depend on Plone security features. It means that the function behaves differently depending on who you are logged in and in which context you call the function.

Example: invokeFactory() checks the logged in user permission whether he/she can create the content.

Testing warning: This box is used when the outcome of a function might be different when code is run in unit or functional tests. Usually this is because there is no normal HTTP request/response lifecycle and some HTTP request specific caches are not being invalidated properly.

Example: Unit testing code does not respect RestrictedPython restrictions

Deprecation warning: This approach is not recommended anymore and the same functionality can be achieved using newer technology.

Example: plone_skins based templates are discouraged
