MIME based content transformations

Project description

Introduction

This Zope product provides two new tools for the CMF in order to make MIME types based transformations on the portal contents, and so an easy to way to plugin some new transformations for previously unsupported content types. The provided tools are:

portal_transform (the transform tool)

handle transformation of data from a mime type to another

A bunch of ready to use transformations are also provided. Look at the documentation for more information.

Notice this package can also be used as a standalone Python package. If you’ve downloaded the Python distribution, you can’t make it a Zope product since Zope files have been removed from this distribution.

This product is an off-spring of the Archetypes project.

1.5.1-final - 2007-04-17

  • note for release-managers: The version-bump to 1.5 was a bit early, but now as we have it, i keep it and next release number in the cycle needed for Archetypes 1.4.2 (used for Plone 2.5.2) of PortalTransforms is then the 1.5 final. We dont need increasing of release numbers because of Plone 3.0, Archetypes 1.5, … if theres no change in the dependen product, like this one. [jensens]

1.5.0-final - 2006-12-15

1.5.0-a1 - 2006-10-25

  • casting to int is evil without previous check of the type. so we assume as in CMFPlone just zero for non-int-castable values. [jensens]

  • Replaced the safe_html transformation with a configurable version with the same functionality. Migration is handled on reinstall. http://trac.plone.org/plone/ticket/4538 [csenger] [dreamcatcher]

  • Removed CoUnInitialize call. According to Mark Hammond: The right thing to do is call that function, although almost noone does (including pywin32 itself, which does CoInitialize the main thread) and I’ve never heard of problem caused by this omission. [sidnei]

  • Fix a long outstanding issue with improper COM thread model initialization. Initialize COM for multi-threading, ignoring any errors when someone else has already initialized differently. https://trac.plone.org/plone/ticket/4712 [sidnei]

  • Fixed the requirements look-up from the policy (#1358085)

1.3.2-5 - 2004-10-17

  • Introduce the concept of filters (one-hop transforms where the source and destination are the same mimetype). [dreamcatcher]

  • Add a html filter to extract the content of the body tag (so we don’t get a double <body> when uploading full html files). [dreamcatcher]
