Motivation
After a long time, a lot of unsuccessfull releases we need something as simple as it can be and above all it must be stable. Perhaps fundamental thing which made as crazy was how to let basic Plone users redefine invneotory and its contents layout and look. All solutions which we did try was not so user-friendly as we suppose.. so we were lost in circle of making it simple for end-users.
Proposal
Don't lose time to make perfect product but make it usable for both end-users and experienced users.
The main problem is how to let site manager define layout and look of his inventories and here is the final solution. There are two ways how to use the inventory builder:
A - Plone user
An user is basic orn new Plone user, he knows only how to create content etc. So inventory builder provides a TTW configurable layout for inventory and its content through predefined macros selectable using DataGridField
B - Plone developer
An user is experienced Plone user or developer who is familiar with ZPT, Python and maybe Plone related APIs. So inventory builder provides custom empty view templates ready to be written manualy by experienced developer.
