Project Description

Collage

Collage

Compatibility

  • Plone 3.1
  • Five 1.5

About

Collage is a product for aggregating and displaying multiple content items on a single page.

It provides the following content-types:

  • Collage
  • Row
  • Column
  • Alias

The first three are structural containers that provide basic layouting functionality. The premise is that a column fits inside a row which again fits inside a collage.

The Alias-type is provided to allow displaying existing objects from the site inside the collage.

Installing

Collage is an egg. Just add "Products.Collage" in the eggs list of your buildout.cfg, re-run your buildout.

Upgrading

If you upgraded Products.Collage in the file system, open in ZMI /your/plone/site/portal_setup and click the "Upgrades" tab.

Select the "Products.Collage:default" profile and see if upgrades are available. Run them :D

Javascript functionality

We use the jquery-library to facilitate easy scripting. Ajax is used to move content items, columns and rows around without reloading the page.

Status

Used in production.

Support for add-on packages

These should be added to the collective.collage package:

under ./browser/addons/<package name>

Make sure collective.collage is in your python path if you want these views registered for use in Collage.

See DEVELOPER.txt to add support for custom content types and themings.
