collective.contentsections 1.0.0a2

A block approach for Plone 6 Classic

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 plone site is seen as a folder hierarchy that contains pages. A page is composed of sections. A section can contain elements of the same type. Folders, pages, sections and elements are all Dexterity content types.

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.

Features

• Basic schema and class for section content types
• LeadIcon vocabulary and behavior based on plone.icons registry records

• CardsSection content type based on a collective.z3cform.datagridfield field
