plone.app.vocabularies 4.3.0

Collection of generally useful vocabularies for Plone.

Overview

A collection of generally useful vocabularies for Plone.

It is implemented using zope.schema.vocabulary. Intended to be used as a base and example for custom vocabularies.

Common Named Vocabularies

Languages

plone.app.vocabularies.AvailableContentLanguages

all known languages

plone.app.vocabularies.SupportedContentLanguages

currently configured/supported content languages for the portal

Users, Groups, Security

plone.app.vocabularies.Users

Users of the portal (searchable).

plone.app.vocabularies.Groups

Groups of the portal (searchable).

plone.app.vocabularies.Principals

Combined groups and users of the portal (searchable). Values are prefixed by group:... or user:....

The factory-class of the above three vocabularies is made for subclassing to filter the results in the subclass. The post-filtering approach works by overriding the def use_principal_triple(self, principal_triple): method of the plone.app.vocabularies.principals.BaseFactory subclass. use_principal_triple argument principal_triple is a triple (value, token, title). use_principal_triple is expected to return True when the triple has be added to the vocabulary or False if it has to be skipped. Be aware there might be many values, like several thousands, in the vocabulary and the filtering has to be perform. The subclass needs to have a source attribute with value one out of user, group or principal. Don’t forget to register the new vocabulary in ZCML!

all possible roles in the portal

plone.app.vocabularies.Permissions

all possible permissions in the portal

Configured WYSIWIG editors

Portal Types

plone.app.vocabularies.PortalTypes

plone.app.vocabularies.ReallyUserFriendlyTypes

Static filtered list of portal-types. Filter is a list of portal_type ids (strings) defined at plone.app.vocabularies.types.BAD_TYPES.

plone.app.vocabularies.UserFriendlyTypes

Portal types filtered as ‘user friendly’ by the Types Tool.

Portal actions

plone.app.vocabularies.Actions

Catalog

plone.app.vocabularies.Keywords

It either displays all Subjects aka Tags aka Keywords used by the portals content. Or if there is a IEditingSchema.subjects_of_navigation_root boolean set to True in the registry, the getNavigationRootObject is used as the section and only keywords used in this section are part of the vocabulary.

Developers can subclass plone.app.vocabularies.catalog.KeywordVocabulary, it is build to be developer friendly. keyword_index property may be redefined to use a different index than ‘Subject’ for the Keywords. path_index property may be redefined to use a different index than path for the sections path section method may be redefined to located the section keywords should be restricted to.

Changelog

4.3.0 (2021-09-01)

New features:

Bug fixes:

• Fixed deprecation warning for zope.site.hooks. (#3130)

Bug fixes:

• Minor packaging updates. (#1)

4.1.1 (2019-08-29)

4.1.0 (2019-04-29)

New features:

• Overhaul of the groups-vocabulary plone.app.vocabularies.Groups, a refined version of the users-vocabulary plone.app.vocabularies.Users, a new principals vocabulary combining users and groups plone.app.vocabularies.Principals. Ability to apply a filter to the vocabularies in subclasses. Moved all to principals.py, bbb import are in place (user.py, security,py). Deprecated the UserSource and GroupsSource implementations. Documented new vocabulary in README.rst. Move doctests to unittests and added more tests. Benefits: 200x faster validation of groups; less and cleaner code; unified code for all three vocabularies. [jensens] (#56)

4.0.7 (2018-09-27)

Bug fixes:

• Python 3 support [ale-rt, pbauer]

4.0.6 (2018-02-11)

Bug fixes:

• Do not wake up all the users when no query is submitted [ale-rt]

4.0.5 (2018-02-05)

Bug fixes:

• Fix test that breaks when catalog is not registered as a utility in CMF 2.3+ [pbauer]

• Add Python 2 / 3 compatibility [vincero]

4.0.4 (2017-07-03)

• plone/Products.CMFPlone#1268: use permissive vocabulary type for ReallyUserFriendlyTypes, to avoid insertion of new types in plone.displayed_types (registry) from breaking GenericSetup profiles in add-ons. [seanupton]

4.0.1 (2017-01-12)

Bug fixes:

• Fix problem in ParseError fallback introduced in 4.0 [jensens]

4.0 (2016-11-17)

Breaking changes:

• Make zope.formlib optional. [gforcada]

• Mark vocabularies based on zope.formlib as deprecated. [gforcada]

Bug fixes:

• Adapt code to follow Plone styleguide. [gforcada]

• Fix in catalog: If ZCTextIndex catches a ParseError, try w/o SearchableText if there is one given. Often Query contains only common words happen (only stop words given) and results are not fetched. Semantically this means that we want all results. [jensens]

3.0 (2016-06-12)

Breaking changes:

• CatalogVocabulary now takes a query for it’s constructor instead of a LazyMap of brains and lazy loads terms. Also, in __contains__, do a UID query instead of checking the entire contents of the result. This prevents potential DOS with custom code where the whole contents of the catalog would get loaded with terms created for it on every validation attempt. [vangheem]

New features:

• Optional allow to filter keyword vocabulary to a current section based on the current context. The class was build for easy subclassing - and still is. It allows to override the section fetching logic in a subclass. The default logic is first to look in the controlpanel if there is a IEditingSchema.subjects_of_navigation_root boolean. If its True the getNavigationRootObject is used as the section and only keywords used in this section are part of the vocabulary. Otherwise all keywords in the index are displayed. [jensens]

2.3.0 (2016-06-07)

New features:
