A Plone content rules action that creates a chronological archive.

Project description

sc.contentrules.groupbydate

Overview

sc.contentrules.groupbydate is a very basic content rule action used to organize content under a chronological-based hierarchy on a web site upon publication.

Base use case

A news portal with a few dozen new content items per day needs to organize its information in a chronological, yet human-readable, hierarchy.

To do so this package is installed in a Plone Site and a new content rule is created. This content rule will be triggered by the publication of an News Item and will initialize a ‘’’Move an item to a date-based folder structure’’’.

This action has a target (/news) and a structure (‘ymd’), so as our News Item, with id hello-world, is published on the site, it will be moved to a a new folder structure under /news. Supposing it’s December 19th, 2008, the item will end in /news/2009/12/19/hello-world.

Requirements

Installation

To enable this product,on a buildout based installation:

  1. Edit your buildout.cfg and add sc.contentrules.groupbydate to the list of eggs to install

    [buildout]
    ...
    eggs =
        sc.contentrules.groupbydate
  2. Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

    [instance]
    ...
    zcml =
        ...
        sc.contentrules.groupbydate

If another package depends on the sc.contentrules.groupbydate egg or includes its zcml directly you do not need to specify anything in the buildout configuration: buildout will detect this automatically.

After updating the configuration you need to run the ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.
