p4a.subtyper 2.0

Subtyping framework for Plone

p4a.subtyper

p4a.subtyper is a subtyping framework for Plone. In this context, subtyping means to provide additional specific types onto existing content types. An example to standard Plone would be to have only one File content type (and no Image content type). The Image content type would then become a sub-type of the File content type.

It also exposes the possible sub-types for a given object in the content menu with a sub-types dropdown menu.

See browser/browser.txt for example usage.
