Subtyping framework for Plone
Project description
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.
Requirements
Plone 2.5 or Plone 3.x

Fixed test setup for when running using zc.recipe.testrunner. [davisagli]
Add MANIFEST.in [WouterVH]
The subtypes adapter is now registered locally for Plone 3 and greater so that it does not show up in Plone sites where it is not installed. [yomatters]

Plone4ArtistsSubtyper is no longer loaded in tests if it doesn’t exist
There is now an uninstall method that will remove the ISubtyped marker interface from all objects.

Made Plone4ArtistsSubtyper setup optional.
