This is detailed sample instruction to Transmogrifier in Action on Plone 4.3.2.
$ cd src
$ ../bin/zopeskel plone crgis.transmogrifier
plone: A project for Plone add-ons
This creates a Plone project (to create a Plone *site*, you probably
want to use the one of the templates for a buildout).
To create a Plone project with a name like 'plone.app.myproject'
(2 dots, a 'nested namespace'), use the 'plone_app' template.
If at any point, you need additional help for a question, you can enter
'?' and press RETURN.

Update configure.zcml as follows:
<configure

xmlns:five="http://namespaces.zope.org/five"
xmlns:i18n="http://namespaces.zope.org/i18n"
xmlns:genericsetup="http://namespaces.zope.org/genericsetup"

i18n_domain="crgis.transmogrifier">
<five:registerPackage package="." initialize=".initialize" />
<genericsetup:registerProfile
name="default"
title="crgis.transmogrifier"
directory="profiles/default"
description="CRGIS Transmogrifier Package Extension Profile"
provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.EXTENSION"
/>
<include package="collective.transmogrifier" />
<include package="collective.transmogrifier" file="meta.zcml" />
<transmogrifier:registerConfig
name="crgis.importer.temple"
title="CRGIS Importer for Temple Type"
description="Transmogrifier Pipeline Config to Import Contents."
configuration="import-temple.cfg"
/>
Update import-temple.cfg then:
[transmogrifier]
pipeline =
csvsource
sqlsource
type-inserter
path-inserter
folders
constructor
schema-updater
state-inserter
workflow-updater
reindex-object
[csvsource]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.csvsource
filename = crgis.transmogrifier:temple-data.csv
[sqlsource]
blueprint = transmogrify.sqlalchemy
dsn = postgresql://USERNAME:PASSWORD@localhost:5432/DB_NAME
query = SELECT id, title, description FROM TB_NAME
[type-inserter]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.inserter
key = string:_type
value = string:Temple
[path-inserter]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.inserter
key = string:_path
value = string:/myfolder/${item/id}
[folders]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.folders
[constructor]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.constructor
[schema-updater]
blueprint = plone.app.transmogrifier.atschemaupdater
[state-inserter]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.inserter
key = string:_transitions
value = string:publish
[workflow-updater]
blueprint = plone.app.transmogrifier.workflowupdater
[reindex-object]
blueprint = plone.app.transmogrifier.reindexobject
Note that csvsource section is for CSV source, and sqlsource section is for SQL source.
Add a file crgis/transmogrifier/profiles/default/transmogrifier.txt with these:
# this file contains transmogrifier profile names to run
# on GenericSetup transmogrifier's step
crgis.importer.temple
Update setup.py to include SQLAlchemy and psycopg2 dependency.
Finally, edit buildout.cfg:
eggs =
plone.app.transmogrifier
collective.transmogrifier
transmogrify.sqlalchemy
crgis.transmogrifier
zcml =
plone.app.transmogrifier
collective.transmogrifier
transmogrify.sqlalchemy
