ftw.topics 2.2.2

Features

• Dexterity based content types “Topic Tree” and “Topic” for creating a topic tree (subject tree).

• The topic-view lists all content referenced the topic.

Usage

• Add ftw.topics to your buildout configuration:

[instance]
eggs +=
    ftw.topics

• Install the default generic import profile.

ITopicSupport for Dexterity

If you would like to have the topics field on dexterity based types, use the ITopicSupportSchema behavior:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="example.conference.presenter" meta_type="Dexterity FTI"
   xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
   i18n:domain="example.conference">

     <!-- enabled behaviors -->
     <property name="behaviors">
         <element value="ftw.topics.behavior.ITopicSupportSchema" />
     </property>

</object>

plone.restapi support

If necessary install the [restapi] extra.

[instance]
eggs +=
    ftw.topics [restapi]

List all backreferences on a topic.

        "actions": {
            "@id": "http://localhost:55001/plone/topictree/topic/@actions"
        },
        "backreferences": {
            "@id": "http://localhost:55001/plone/topictree/topic/@backreferences",
            "items": [
                {
                    "@id": "http://localhost:55001/plone/front-page",
                    "title": "Welcome to Plone"
                    ...
                }
            ],
            ...
        }
    }
}

Customizing reference representations

The ITopicReferencePresentation adapters are responsible for rendering the references on the topic view. The adapters consume all items they know and render them in a section of the view.

ftw.topics includes an ITopicReferencePresentation for rendering content pages and a default adapter for all contents which are not consumed by another adapter.

Adding a custom representation adapter is easy:

from Products.Five.browser.pagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile
from ftw.topics.browser.representation import DefaultRepresentation
from my.package.interfaces import IMyType
from my.package import _

class MyRepresentation(DefaultRepresentation):
    template = ViewPageTemplateFile('my_representation.pt')

    def consume(self, objects):
        for obj in objects:
            if IMyType.providedBy(obj):
                self.objects.append(obj)
            else:
                yield obj

    def title(self):
        return _(u'label_my_objects', default=u'My objects')

    def position(self):
        return 50

consume()

Be sure that you yield all objects which you do not handle in your adapter. They will be passed up the pipeline until another adapter handles them. The last adapter is usually the default representation adapter, which consumes all left over objects.

title()

Return the title for your section.

position()

The adapters are ordered by position. The default adapter has the position 1000, the ftw.contentpage adapter has the position 100.

Register your adapter with ZCML:

<configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">

    <adapter
        factory=".representation.MyRepresentation"
        name="my_representation"
        />

</configure>

Be sure you give the adapter a name, so that it does not conflict with other adapters.
