bda.contentproxy 1.0-beta3

Overview

Module providing some flavour of content proxy for Plone. It works for all kinds of Archetypes based types.

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.

Two 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.

Installation

1. Make the egg available in your instance,

2. Import the bda.contentproxy extension profile in your plone instance.
