EEA Possible Relations. This package provides a flexible way to manage relations in a Plone site. it provides a new reference browser widget and a central management interface for relations, their labels and requirements.

Project Description

EEA Relations

EEA Relations

EEA Relations package redefines relations in Plone. Right now in Plone any object can be in relation with any other object. EEA Relations lets you to define possible relations between objects. EEA Relations also comes with a nice, customizable faceted navigable popup for relations widget.

Introduction

Once installed from "Add-ons", the package will add an utility called "Possible relations" under control panel.

Main features

Main goal of EEA Relations is to be an alternative to the default Plone related item widget.

EEA Relations features:

  1. Define/restrict what kind of content types a certain content can relate to
  2. Set restrictions on possible relations (e.g. relations can be made only with published content)
  3. You can define easy to use faceted searches (using EEA Faceted navigation) on the relate items popup
  4. Nice visual diagram showning all the relations and restrictions you defined (Control pane -> Possible relations)

Installation

The easiest way to get eea.relations support in Plone 4 using this package is to work with installations based on zc.buildout. Other types of installations should also be possible, but might turn out to be somewhat tricky.

To get started you will simply need to add the package to your "eggs" and "zcml" sections, run buildout, restart your Plone instance and install the "eea.relations" package using the quick-installer or via the "Add-on Products" section in "Site Setup".

You can download a sample buildout at:

http://svn.eionet.europa.eu/repositories/Zope/trunk/eea.relations/buildouts/plone4/

Getting started

Once you install the package from control panel "Add-ons", the package will add an utility called "Possible relations" under control panel from where you can start define the relations, the constraints between contents etc.
