Hello I'm trying to install PloneBooking Product into my Plone 4.3.3 by using buildout.cfg like this
eggs =
Products.PloneBooking
Products.PloneFormGen
Products.ZMySQLDA
Plone
Pillow
Automatically I can see the PloneFormGen into my plugins page but no sign of PloneBooking, It could've be a version issue. I've already tried using mr.developer and using the github version, but the documentation is confusing since there's no [eggs] into my buildout.cfg in this link http://plone.org/documentation/kb/installing-add-ons-quick-how-to
. How can I proceed from this point?
Thanks already.
Looks like there's a python version problem in some modules, so I've just installed a different version of PloneBooking into my [versions] section, like:
Products.PloneBooking = 3.0.0a2
no need for mr.developer or anything.

Installing plone.app.ldap into Plone 5 produces a formlib error. The traceback is here: http://pastebin.com/EM9S6UDD
It is a fresh install of Plone 5.0, the only egg pinned to the buildout is plone.app.ldap.
Please advise? Thank you.
You can also try https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pas.plugins.ldap/ which is newer, has less layers/wrappers and worked in the past better for me. Don't know if this easier to run on Plone 5. Haven't tried that yet.
Plone 5 does not ship with formlib any longer. Try to add zope.formlib to the eggs section in your buildout.
Current version of plone.app.ldap (1.3.2) is not compatible with Plone 5.
There is some work in progress on the master branch of the repository; follow up and wait for a new release.
plone.app.ldap simply add a (sometimes broken) UI interface to Plone. Commonly you don't need it if you configure stuff from ZMI.
In that case: just add Products.PloneLDAP to your Plone 5 buildout and it will work normally.
I am having a sudden issue with installing Plone 4.2.4. I have pinned PloneFormGen to 1.7.11 but the buildout fails with the following error:
The version, 1.4.4, is not consistent with the requirement, 'plone.app.jquery>1.6'.
While:
Installing client1.
Error: Bad version 1.4.4
If I remove PFG from the buildout, it runs fine. I have pinned plone.app.jquery to 1.7.2 (even though it states its not compatible with < Plone 4.3) and the buildout runs successfully, but afterwards, if I update PloneFormGen from 1.7.6 to 1.7.11, it breaks the site.
The buildout is a standard Unified Installer build of Plone 4.2.4, using the out of the box version.cfg. I have extended this with my own config to add other components.
This build recipe I created months ago and it has worked flawlessly on other systems, but my most recent use of this recipe gives me the failures.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
I found an email on the Plone Users group by someone who was having a very similar issue to this. The fix seems to be to pin plone.app.jquery to 1.7.2 as well as pinning collective.js.jqueryui to 1.9.2.0. I did this and the issues I was experiencing appear to be resolved. However, I'm not comfortable with this solution as it appears to be an underlying issue with these two packages.
As you mentioned in your question update, you need to additionally pin plone.app.jquery to a newer version.
This is a fine solution and, if anything, PloneFormGen is just lacking in documentation so people are aware of it.
Please consider contributing to the README to help provide better instructions to install on the version of plone you're using: https://github.com/collective/Products.PloneFormGen/blob/master/Products/PloneFormGen/README.txt
I would like to use plone.app.jquery 1.7.2 on my plone 4.1.4, but it doesn't work because plone 4.1.4 use an old version of Products.ResouceRegistries that doesn't enable the "bundle" option.
So I figure myself that I have to update Products.ResouceRegistries to 2.1.2.
I have modified the versions.cfg and run buildout, but with no effect (no download of the new version).
How could I update the version ?
Why not just upgrade to Plone 4.2?
The problem was there is a kgv in the buildout that pinned Products.ResouceRegistries to 2.0.6 :
http://good-py.appspot.com/release/dexterity/1.2.1?plone=4.1.4
Removing the ?plone=4.1.4 and pin Products.ResouceRegistries to 2.1.2 make it works.
I am new to Plone and I am having trouble understanding how to install addons. I have read the documentation provided on their site, but I am still a bit confused.
The addon that I am trying to install is http://plone.org/products/uwosh.timeslot.
In the documentation, I see them using a something like cmd.exe, but I am not really sure what it is. Is it the python.exe located in the python folder?
Also, I am not clear if the addon that I wish to install is in an "egg" form.
Could someone please provide me with a detailed process for installation?
Thank you.

Find, then edit your buildout.cfg file per instructions above to add the uwosh.timeslot egg.
Re-run bin/buildout (or bin\buildout on windows) from the main plone directory on the command-line (do not run from the bin directory as your current working directory).
Answering your other questions:
Yes, packages listed on PyPI.python.org are "eggs" in the sense that you install them as eggs in buildout, not classic "Products".
cmd.exe is MS Windows command-line, assuming you are using Windows, not Unix.
This is only useful if you know where your Plone installation is located on disk -- you should.
I have had problems getting a paster generated theme product to work in my production Plone 4.0 server, so I thought I would try again now that 4.1 is out. I'm now having a different problem: the theme just doesn't show up in the Add-ons list. Here's what I did:
Installed Plone 4.1 for Windows from Enfold
Downloaded ez_setup.py, and ran it with Plone's embedded python
Ran the installed easy_install to get the latest ZopeSkel installed into the embedded Python.
mkdir src ; cd src ; ..\python\Scripts\paster create -t plone3_theme plonetheme.lt
Answered the questions so that I'd get a theme based on the plone4 Sunburst theme
Otherwise I don't touch anything in that generated code.
cd plonetheme.lt ; ....\python\python.exe setup.py develop [not sure if I need to do this]
Edit the buildout.cfg to add plonetheme.lt to the eggs list, and added:
develop = src/plonetheme.lt
Run buildout. It mentions that it can find the plonetheme.lt package.
Start Zeo and Plone servers
The plonetheme.lt does not appear in the list of Add-ons
What can I have missed? I've poured over the bits of documentation on plone.org and I have Martin Aspeli's books. Many thanks. I've also tried adding the packaging to the zcml slugs, to no avail.

"cd plonetheme.lt ; ....\python\python.exe setup.py develop [not sure if I need to do this]"
no this is useless
"Edit the buildout.cfg to add plonetheme.lt to the eggs list, and added: develop = src/plonetheme.lt"
you need to add it to the zcml list too.
More info:
Take a look at the step 2 of this guide:
http://plone.org/documentation/kb/add-ons/installing
You could try the another solution using buildout.eggtractor
Or better if you paste your buildout somewhere...
