iuem.photorepository 1.0b4

Addon for Plone

Introduction

Plone 4 products to manage Photos repository

I’m new in plone development and this is my first product. So advise, corrections and suggestions are really welcome !

This product is meant to satisfy a need at the institute where I work (IUEM, Institut Universitaire Europeen de la Mer, www-iuem.univ-brest.fr) and was initiated by the communication service.

Special Thanks to :

Bertrand GOBERT : communication service in IUEM

Jean-Michel FRANCOIS (aka toutpt) for his courses

Tristan LE TOULLEC (plone integrator and developer in IUEM)

Valentin Cadot (student who worked on this for 3 months)

Features :

The two main ideas of this product are :

1- to add metadata for a finer grain research and selection

2- to attribute/spread folder metadata to contained images and folders

This product aims to dedicate your entire Plone site to a photos/images repository. Archetypes.schemaextender is largely used to extend metadata of folders and images. So _ALL_ folders and images are extended.

When you add a new folder or image, you can use metadata already included in the vocabularies (like a thesaurus) or add new values which are added to the vocabularies when you save your new object.

When an image is uploaded, the original image is copied to a new field and the Image field is modified : it is reduced and a watermark is applied. Only a user with permission ‘iuem.photorepository: View Full Image’, owner and manager by default, can access the original image.

Because eea.facetednavigation is a very good tool to browse the database, I didn’t develop a special search form.

collective.quickupload is recommended to upload groups of photos, but the module collective.zipfiletransport is also used.

Installation :

Just add iuem.photorepository to egg list in your buildout.cfg

TODO :

• latitude and longitude fields : how to set values….?

• config view to manage some parameters : image transformation, permissions, etc…

• full documentation for users and repository manager
