redturtle.smartlink 0.3.0

An advanced ATLink version, with image field and internal link feature

An enhanced version of the base Plone link content type.

After intalling this you’ll see that the Plone link will have a new image field and caption like the News Item content type.

As News Item do, the Link now behave image resize functionality.

Also the new Link type can handle internal (to Plone contents) and external links. You can use the internal link field to automatically attach the link value to an internal content of the portal (in a similar way used for related contents).

Is possible that the relation is not always mantained: if you rename the related content (or move it away) the reference in the catalog is not updated immediatly (we are thinking to fix it in some way) but this is the same with old ATLink content.

Warning!

Smart Link shapechange itself and hide from portal_types tool the basic Plone Link type!

FileSystemStorage

The product try to register the link image field onto iw.fss if it’s installed.

Credits

Part of the code of Smart link was taken from the ComboLink Plone (and Plonegov) product. This project was giving the same internal link feature in old 2.1/2.5 Plone releases.
