Main features

Main goal of EEA Relations is to be an alternative to the default Plone related item widget.

EEA Relations features:

1. Define/restrict what kind of content types a certain content can relate to

2. Set restrictions on possible relations (e.g. relations can be made only with published content)

3. You can define easy to use faceted searches (using EEA Faceted navigation) on the relate items popup

4. Nice visual diagram showning all the relations and restrictions you defined (Control Panel -> Possible relations)

Installation

zc.buildout

If you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

• Update your buildout.cfg file:

  • Add eea.relations to the list of eggs to install

  • Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug

  [instance]
  ...
  eggs =
    ...
    eea.relations
  
  zcml =
    ...
    eea.relations

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package from another package’s configure.zcml file.

Getting started

Once you install the package from “Control Panel Add-ons”, the package will add an utility called “Possible relations” under “Control Panel” from where you can start define the relations, the constraints between contents etc.

Dependencies

EEA Relations has the following dependencies:

• graphviz

  $ yum install graphviz
  $ apt-get install graphviz

• pydot

• eea.facetednavigation
