redturtle.tiles.management 0.1.0

An alternative method for handling and showing tiles

A tiles management system, easier than plone.app.mosaic that uses plone.app.tiles and Mockup functionalities to build a simple UI.

Features

• Simple UI to add/remove/edit registered tiles

• Tiles sorting with drag-and-drop (thanks to mockup)

• Base view and macro to be reused in custom templates

Usage

To use this feature, you only need to do 2 simple steps:

1. Make you view implements IBlocksTransformEnabled interface:

   from plone.app.blocks.interfaces import IBlocksTransformEnabled
   from Products.Five import BrowserView
   from zope.interface import implementer
   
   @implementer(IBlocksTransformEnabled)
   class MyView(BrowserView):
       ...

2. use a specific macro in the template, where you want to insert the tiles:

   <tal:tiles metal:use-macro="context/tiles_view/macros/tiles-macro" />

3. the used tiles need to expose their id to allows the UI to handle correct actions:

   <div data-tileid="${view/id}">
     .. your tile html
   </div>

The last point can be improved because with this restriction we can’t use standard tiles, but only custom tiles.

After this, you see a new “Add tile” button in the view, and clicking on it, you can see a list of available tiles.
