- 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.
