A block approach for Plone 6 Classic

Project description

collective.contentsections

This product offers a block approach for Plone 6 Classic based entirely on Dexterity content types. It is largely based on the code that was developed in the imio.smartweb.core product for the Walloon municipalities.

The approach in this product can be seen as a generalisation of the Full content view available in Plone on Folder content type.

The plone site is seen as a folder hierarchy that contains pages. A page is a folderish content type composed of sections. A section can contain elements of the same type (File, Image, Link, Location, Contact). Folders, pages, sections and elements are all Dexterity content types.

The section view view redirects to its position in its parent page view view. Section content types are hidden from research but their contents are indexed in the SearchableText index of their parent page.

Images and files are seen as elements. Images are only available in images sections and as lead image in all content types. Files are only available in files sections. Links are sometimes seen as elements of the links section and sometimes as redirect pages.

Here is a picture of the model.

Archimate Model

Features

This product provides :

  • basic schema and class for section content types
  • LeadIcon vocabulary and behavior based on plone.icons registry records
  • collective.taxonomy.section_css_classes taxonomy for available Section CSS Classes
  • TextSection wich contains a simplified TinyMCE field and the behavior LeadImage. A TextSection contains only the lead image. No more image in TinyMCE text field.
  • HTMLSection to integrate iframe from youtube, google map and other iframe providers. No more video, iframe in TinyMCE text field.
  • CollectionSection to link a section with a collection.
  • SelectionSection to link a section to other pages. The SelectionSection replace the Related items behavior.
  • CardsSection content type based on a collective.z3cform.datagridfield field to make nice information blocks/links on a page
  • ImagesSection, LinksSection, FilesSection, LocationsSection, ContactsSection folderish section content types to keep the site structured and facilitate the cut and paste of sections between pages.
  • A Page view for folderish content types
  • BasicPage, EventPage and NewsPage page content types to replace default Plone content types.

This product fits Plone with:

  • a new default page name index
  • LeadImage on File and Link content types
  • a profile to simplify TinyMCE interface

Demo content

The file https://github.com/sverbois/collective.contentsections/blob/main/demo.json contains some demo pages that can be loaded into the site using the @@import_content view of the collective.exportimport product. collective.exportimport is installed on the developement environment. You have to hide Plone Leftcolumn and Plone Rightcolumn portlets on your site to display the pages correctly.

Choices/Beliefs

  • We want a KISS solution.
  • We want a solution for junior integrators.
  • We believe that Plone Classic can be used to create beautiful sites in less than a day.

Possibilities

  • If you activate workflow on sections, you can restrict access to certain sections of a page.
  • As section are Dexterity content types, you can create a collection/faceted navigation of sections.

Dependencies

This product depends on the following products: collective.taxonomy, collective.z3cform.datagridfield, collective.geolocationbehavior
