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). 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.
