visaplan.plone.adapters 1.0.3

Adapters for Plone sites

Provides a brown bag of adapters for Plone sites

The purpose of this package is not to provide new functionality but to factor out existing functionality from an existing monolitic Zope product. Thus, it is more likely to lose functionality during further development (as parts of it will be forked out into their own packages, or some functionality may even become obsolete because there are better alternatives in standard Plone components).

Features

• flvinfo adapter:

  flash file metadata extraction

• getmenulevel adapter:

  Catalog query to create a submenu level

• grouplog adapter:

  Maintains a special logfile for group membership changes

• pc2 adapter:

  The portal_catalog as a decorated_tool (which logs its calls; for development)

• pformat adapter:

  Makes the pprint.pformat function available for page template code (for development)

• puc adapter:

  The portal_user_catalog (if you have one)

• rawbyname adapter:

  Return the raw contents of the given field

• swfinfo adapter:

  Parses the header information of a Shockwave Flash (swf) file

• uidorint adapter:

  Does the given value or (request) varname contain a number or a UID?

• updateactualurl adapter:

  Sets the request variable ACTUAL_URL to the given value

• userlog adapter:

  Maintains a special logfile for user account changes, e.g. registrations and activations.

  There is a utility script parseuserlog to extract information from this file and write it to a CSV file.
