4. Dexterity aware. It works also with dexterity content-types.

Install

• Add eea.annotator to your eggs section in your buildout and re-run buildout. You can download a sample buildout from https://github.com/eea/eea.annotator/tree/master/buildouts/plone4

• Install eea.annotator within Site Setup > Add-ons

Warning

Once you’ll install this add-on via Site Setup > Add-ons, it will overrides Publish Traversal for Archetypes base object (plone.app.imaging.interfaces.IBaseObject) and Dexterity Base Content (plone.dexterity.interfaces.IDexterityContent) in order to handle custom annotator URLs. Still, it preserves old functionality from plone.app.imaging and plone.dexterity (also eea.depiction) but if you have custom traversals registered for these interfaces, try to use custom browser layers when registering them (see: eea.annotator.browser.app.traverse).

Getting started

1. Go to Plone Site Setup > EEA Annotator Settings and enable inline comments for your content-types (default enabled for Page);

2. Go to your work-space within Plone Site and add a new object (Page) or user an existing one;

3. In view mode select text you want to comment on and add an inline comment;

4. Within edit form > Settings Tab you can contextually disable inline comments.

5. You can also add an “Inline comments” portlet in order to overview all inline comments on this page.

Dexterity

Dexterity content-types are supported by EEA Annotator.

1. In order to be able to contextually disable inline comments you need to add a boolean field called disableAnnotator within your Dexterity content-type schema fields.

2. In order to be able to contextually make inline comments read-only you need to add a boolean field called readOnlyAnnotator within your Dexterity content-type schema fields. (Plone Site Setup > Dexterity Content Types > MyCustomType > Fields)
