collective.allowsearch 0.1.4

Provides an interface and a default adapter to allow users to search the catalog independent of the View permission.

Overview

Provides an interface and a default adapter to allow users to search the catalog independent of the View permission.

Installation

Add this package to your buildout or policy package, or add a ZCML slug for it to your etc/site.zcml.

Usage

Simply mark any content which you want to be visible in searches for anonymous users with the IAllowAnonymousSearchMarker interface.

This can be done programmatically or using ZCML like:

<configure
    xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
    xmlns:five="http://namespaces.zope.org/five"
    i18n_domain="collective.allowsearch">

    <include package="collective.allowsearch" />

    <!--
    EXAMPLE: Allow all ATDocument objects to be found by Anonymous users.
    NOTE: This does _NOT_ change the View permissions in any way.
    -->
    <five:implements
        class="Products.ATContentTypes.content.document.ATDocument"
        interface="collective.allowsearch.interfaces.IAllowAnonymousSearchMarker"
        />

</configure>

That’s it. See the package’s doctest for more information.
