kitconcept.volto 2.1.2

Volto integration add-on for Plone

kitconcept.volto is a helper package to setup a Plone site ready to use with Volto. It installs several convenience packages, Plone configuration and patches to prepare Plone to be ready for support all the Volto features. Drop it in your buildout and then install it. It is used in Volto development itself for testing it.

If you want, take it as base of your own integration package.

Usage

https://github.com/plone/volto/blob/master/api/base.cfg#L13

and along with plonesite recipe:

https://github.com/plone/volto/blob/master/api/base.cfg#L13

Compatibility

	kitconcept.volto	plone.restapi
	1.x	6.0.0 and below
	2.x	7.0.0 and above

plone.restapi 7.0.0 is included in Plone 5.3.4 (and above).

You can still use 2.x in p.restapi 7.0.0 based installations but the transforms included won’t work. It is recommeneded that you always use the latest plone.restapi release in your projects.

Features

kitconcept.volto provides the following features:

Demo home page and Plone site blocks support

It features a hack to make the Plone site Volto blocks-enabled with some demo content. You can take only the hack to enable the blocks on your site.

You can see it in action in the Volto demo: https://volto.kitconcept.com

Install the provided profile to install it by default:

kitconcept.volto:default-homepage

e.g. in your GS metadata.xml along with your other dependencies:

<metadata>
<version>1000</version>
<dependencies>
  <dependency>kitconcept.volto:default-homepage</dependency>
</dependencies>
</metadata>

Volto Pastanaga Editor

It enables the Volto Blocks behavior on the Document content type by default, enabling Volto editor for that content type.

Just use the same pattern to enable your own content types to have blocks.

Document content type

Richtext and table of contents behaviors has been removed from the Document behaviors since it’s confusing for the users if they shows in the form. Both have been superseeded by blocks in the editor.

CORS profile

A quick helper for enable CORS for development config is also provided in the kitconcept.volto module. So you can call:

<include package="kitconcept.volto.cors" />

from your ZCML while developing.

Enable it on demand, since it’s considered a security issue if you enable CORS in your productions sites.

It’s planned that Volto will feature a development pass-through proxy to the backend in the future. It will be addressed in next sprints.

ZLog patch

p.restapi low level errors are routed through the ancient ZLog and are plone_error enabled, making it difficult to follow since all are marked with a UUID. Specially if using helpers like Sentry. This patch removes the UUID so the same error is categorized all together. This is planned to be addressed in next sprints.

Patch fix for Plone subject field

There are some problems of serialization on special characters derivated from how the current shape of the Plone’s default Dexterity subjects field that has to be addressed in order to make it work properly with Volto (and other systems that are not Plone). This will be fixed in core in upcoming sprints.

Support behaviors

Some behaviors that have proven to be complementary to Volto views. preview_image an image for listings and teasers (different than a lead image). nav_title a field to store titles used in navigation components, teasers or doormats.

nav_title in breadcrumbs

The support behavior nav_title has been added to the list of attributes that breadcrumbs_view is returning, this is done via a customized layered view on breadcrumbs_view browser view.

Volto blocks enabled LRF

Multilingual support for LRF (Language Root Folders) is supported. Install PAM before installing this package and demo homepages will be created in each enabled language. Currently only support for EN/DE.

Image Scales

This package introduces new Plone image scales in Plone and redefines a couple of existing ones. These are know to work well with Volto layout and grid system.

icon 32:32 tile 64:64 thumb 128:128 mini 200:65536 preview 400:65536 teaser 600:65536 large 800:65536 larger 1000:65536 great 1200:65536 huge 1600:65536

This change is opinionated and may collide with your previously defined ones, so make sure your add-on’s profiles are applied AFTER this one.

Versions compatibility

kitconcept.voltodemo is deprecated in favor of this package as of since March, 5th 2020.
