Motivation

For disscusion portals can be usefull to make one folder with more then one auditoriums. Folder like that should provide additional informations about each auditorium cuz standard folder listing template in Plone displayes only title and description of it's contents.

Because of it's unwanted to add some complications to the product, the best solution of this proposal shouldbe only special template which will be registered with Plone's folder as new "display" posibility. I is new feature available in standard Plone portal from version 2.1 of Plone CMS (many thanx to authors!).

Proposal

  1. add auditorium folder template which do the following:
    • displayes contained Auditorium objects grouped in the table with additional informations
    • auditorium title and description
    • auditorium last comment body and author
    • number of comments in auditorium
    • live time of auditorium
    • mode: normal / moderated
    • under the table of auditoriums display other contents of current folder in the same way as Plone folder listing template does
  2. During product instalation register auditorium folder template in Plone's folder display modes
