A Plone pathbar (breadcrumbs) viewlet implementation with more interactive features
Project description
Introduction
The sentence “Plone is slow” can open a very big dicussion thread (and is commonly false!). What is often true is this: “Work with Plone UI is slow”.
The Plone interface need the user to click many times to do (or repeat) common tasks. This is how the World Wide Web works: click on a link, move to a page, click on another link…
Is clear to all that the presence of Javascript can speed up (sometimes dramatically) the speed of working with CMS.
What SpeedUpUI Pathbar does
The common static breadcrumb viewlet of Plone can be replaced with a new one.
Why work with static and poor-of-features links in the pathbar when we can replace those links with a command interface, to perform directly common operation on the elements inside the pathbar?
So the pathbar will change in a dropdown menu with inside common operation like:
View the content (what stardard pathbar viewlet does normally)
Edit the content directly
Go to folder_contents view of the element
All those new features are nothing special right now, but can free the user from performing additional clicks.
Installation
Just register redturtle.speedupui.pathbar in your buildout .cfg file.
[instance] ... eggs = ... redturtle.speedupui.pathbar ... zcml = ... redturtle.speedupui.pathbar redturtle.speedupui.pathbar-overrides ...
TODO
Make possible to add new portal content directly from the pathbar
Check user permissions (for edit, see folder contents, …)
Dropdown are now done using basic Plone javascript; think about relying on jQuery Tools (plone.app.jqtools)
Menus don’t work exactly like the basic dropdown ones. For some reason they don’t close automatically
No test with Internet Explorer done right now!
