bda.contentproxy 1.0-beta1

module providing content proxying for plone.

bda.contentproxy
================

Module providing some flavour of content proxy for Plone. It works for all
kind of Archetypes.

Consider that the Archetypes UID must be present in the portal_catalog
(default in plone 3) and the view for the Type must come along with
a 'main' macro in it's view, i.e.

<metal:main fill-slot="main">
<tal:main-macro metal:define-macro="main">

<!-- type view goes here -->

</tal:main-macro>
</metal:main>

This macro is called on the proxied content and is inserted into the 'main'
slot of the main_template in the current context.

2 Kinds of proxy behaviour are provided:

A placeless proxy. This is a simple BrowserView named 'proxy', with its own
traverser resolving the trailing part of the URL as the Archetype UID, i.e.

http://your.domain.net/some/path/@@proxy/0c6e067822a520eabcfdd1e67d209d96

The other way is a simple Archetype with a UID reference field.

The first kind of proxy may takes place when rendering search results,
the other one might be used to insert 'remote' content to a specified place
in the folder hirarchy.
