Excludes a subtree from search.

Project description

Introduction

openc.excludesearch is designed to make it possible for an administrator to easily mark content as being hidden to searches.

NB: Requires dm’s AdvancedQuery from http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/#AdvancedQuery

First off, install myself:

>>> self.addProduct("openc.excludesearch")

We set up an object that will show in searches for “foo”:

>>> self.folder.invokeFactory('Document', 'foo', 'Foo Page')
'foo'
>>> self.folder['foo']
<ATDocument at .../foo>
>>> self.folder['foo'].setText("I am a foo object from foosville.")

We name it foo for convenience:

>>> foo = self.folder['foo']

We can see its text fine:

>>> foo.getText()
'<p>I am a foo object from foosville.</p>'
>>> foo.reindexObject()

If we search for it, we find it:

>>> app.plone.restrictedTraverse("queryCatalog")({"SearchableText":"foo"})
[<Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at ...>]

Once we activate the hiding functionality we don’t:

>>> foo.getField('hidesearch').get(foo)
False
>>> foo.getField('hidesearch').set(foo, value=True)
>>> foo.reindexObject()
>>> foo.getField('hidesearch').get(foo)
True
>>> app.plone.restrictedTraverse("queryCatalog")({"SearchableText":"foo"})
[]

This is because it has a new marker interface:

>>> from openc.excludesearch.interfaces import IExcludeFromSearch
>>> IExcludeFromSearch(foo)
<ATDocument at .../foo>

If we remove this marker, we find it again:

>>> foo.getField('hidesearch').get(foo)
True
>>> foo.getField('hidesearch').set(foo, value=False)
>>> foo.reindexObject()
>>> foo.getField('hidesearch').get(foo)
False
>>> app.plone.restrictedTraverse("queryCatalog")({"SearchableText":"foo"})
[<Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at ...>]

As we no longer provide that interface:

>>> IExcludeFromSearch(foo)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: ('Could not adapt', <ATDocument at .../foo>, <InterfaceClass openc.excludesearch.interfaces.IExcludeFromSearch>)

Todo

  1. Subclass/monkeypatch collections so they know to ignore things with the IExcludeFromSearch marker interface

Changelog

0.1 - Unreleased

  • Doctest [MatthewWilkes]

  • Added an adapter for archetypes.schemaextended to add a boolean field to the settings schema of any AT content type that adds/removes the marker interface when used. [MatthewWilkes]

  • Customised the queryCatalog script in a skin layer to drop all results providing IExludeFromSearch using AdvancedQuery [MatthewWilkes]

  • Added a marker interface called IExcludeFromSearch [MatthewWilkes]
