collective.folderishtypes 3.1

Folderish News Item, Document and Event as replacement for default types.

Introduction

Provides the types “Folderish Event”, “Folderish News Item” and “Folderish Document” as replacements for their Plone ATContentTypes equivalents. Those types are able to hold any other content, like a Folder.

There is a “portlet” profile, which installs a portlet to show the contents of an folderish type.

You can limit the types, which can be added to FolderishTypes by providing a Generic Setup import type configuration.

The reason for this package is, that in my experience it’s easier to group related content together at one place. An article about something fancy might have an image gallery associated with it as well as some pdf-downloads. With this package you can put everything inside the article. Another use case is that you can structure content hierarchically and don’t need to define “default pages” - a concept hard to understand and handle (see: https://sixfeetup.com/blog/plone-drupal-features )

Alexander Limi also wished folderish content back in 2008: “#10: Content re-use is overrated — people like folderish” https://limi.net/things-plone

How to migrate Products.PloneArticle documents to Folderish Document

A upgrade step “PloneArticle to Folderish Document” in the collective.folderishtypes default profile for migrating PloneArticle objects to Folderish Document objects is provided. Note, this does not cover PloneArticleMultiPage at the moment.

How to migrate non-folderishtypes to folderish ones

Non-folderish content types are missing some BTree attributes, which folderish content types have (See Products.BtreeFolder2.BTreeFolder2Base._initBtrees ).

plone.app.folder provides an upgrade view to migrate pre-plone.app.folder (or non-folderish) types to the new BTree based implementation (defined in: plone.app.folder.migration.BTreeMigrationView).

To upgrade your non-folderish content types to folderish ones, just call @@migrate-btrees on your Plone site root, and you’re done.

Changes

3.1 (2022-11-15)

• Fix problem with incomplete loaded z3c.caching which causes a “Unknown directive” ConfigurationError. [thet]

• Add Transifex.net service integration to manage the translation process. [macagua]

• Added Spanish translation. [macagua]

• Updated gettext files support. [macagua]

3.0.0 (2019-12-17)

• Moved to named behaviors. [iham]

2.2.0 (2019-03-20)

• Add support for Python 3 and Plone 5.2. [pbauer]

2.1 (2017-10-03)

• Use ‘getAllowedSizes’ from CMFPlone if available to allow AT free use [tomgross]

• Change portlets to support z3c.form and make it Plone 5 compatible (no more formlib). [thet]

2.0.2 (2015-06-30)

• Configure folderish types to use the plone.content.itemView caching ruleset instead the folderView one. [thet]

2.0.1 (2015-04-08)

• Fix redirection to parent context after editing for Archetypes. We cannot import something from Acquisition in a Filesystem script. [thet]

2.0 (2015-03-04)

• Plone 5 + 4 safe call of the @@folder_listing listing_macro. [thet]

• Provide a redirectparent.zcml file. When loading it the user is redirected to the parent folder after adding or editing. This avoids confusing behavior of creating nested content structures, while one might add multiple content items to one folder. For consistency reasons, this is done for all types. For Archetypes, this behavior is enabled by default. [thet]

• Add a browserlayer for collective.folderishtypes including the .at and .dx sub packages together with upgrade steps. Bind relevant browser views to these browser layers. [thet]

• Allow “Site Administrator” to add ATContentTypes based Folderish Content Types. [thet]

• Better PloneArticle migration: Set content_type and filename for files and images. Plus: migrate contentleadimage, if available. [thet]

• Update unsintall profiles. [thet]

2.0b2 (2014-10-17)

• Fix broken release [rnix]

• In folder_summary_view do a more sane check, if an image is available. [thet]

• Remove vCalendar action entry from FTI config of Folderish Event. [thet]

• More documentation: How To create own content types based on collective.folderishtypes, How to migrate non-folderishtypes to folderish ones. [thet]

1.6 (2013-04-23)

• Update translations and translate folder_listing. [thet]

• Add z3c.autoinclude.plugin entry point. [thet]

1.5 (2012-11-30)

• Let the folderish types derive from Products.ATContentTypes ATFolder instead of plone.app.folder’s implementation. It inherits some i18n classes. This fixes the issue that on translation of folderish types LinguaPlone’s translation view wasn’t shown. [thet]

1.4 (2012-11-28)

• Give the original, non-folderish types another title, so that they can be easily kept apart from the folderish ones. [thet]

• For folderish events, move the location field back to the main schemata. [thet]
