Package: collective.folderishtypes
IntroductionProvides the types “Folderish Event”, “Folderish News Item” and
“Folderish Document” as replacements for theirPloneATContentTypes equivalents.
Those types are able to hold any other content, like a Folder.There is a “portlet” profile, which installs a portlet to show the contents of
an folderish type.You can limit the types, which can be added to FolderishTypes by providing
a Generic Setup import type configuration.The reason for this package is, that in my experience it’s easier to group
related content together at one place. An article about something fancy might
have an image gallery associated with it as well as some pdf-downloads. With
this package you can put everything inside the article.
Another use case is that you can structure content hierarchically and don’t need
to define “default pages” - a concept hard to understand and handle (see:https://sixfeetup.com/blog/plone-drupal-features)Alexander Limi also wished folderish content back in 2008:
“#10: Content re-use is overrated — people like folderish”https://limi.net/things-ploneHow to migrate Products.PloneArticle documents to Folderish DocumentA upgrade step “PloneArticle to Folderish Document”     in thecollective.folderishtypesdefault profile for migrating PloneArticle objects to
Folderish Document objects is provided. Note, this does not cover
PloneArticleMultiPage at the moment.How to migrate non-folderishtypes to folderish onesNon-folderish content types are missing some BTree attributes, which folderish
content types have (SeeProducts.BtreeFolder2.BTreeFolder2Base._initBtrees).plone.app.folderprovides an upgrade view to migrate pre-plone.app.folder (or
non-folderish) types to the new BTree based implementation (defined in:plone.app.folder.migration.BTreeMigrationView).To upgrade your non-folderish content types to folderish ones, just call@@migrate-btreeson your Plone site root, and you’re done.TranslationsThis product has been translated intoGerman.Spanish.You can contribute for any message missing or other new languages, join us atPlone Collective TeamintoTransifex.netservice with all world Plone translators community.InstallationThis addon can be installed has any other addons, please follow officialdocumentation.To usecollective.folderishtypeswith Archetypes, depend on thedexterityextras_requireinsetup.pyor buildout like so:collective.folderishtypes [archetypes]For the dexterity version, like so:collective.folderishtypes [dexterity]Tested withPlone 4, Plone 5Tests statusThis add-on is tested using Travis CI.

import something from Acquisition in a Filesystem script.
[thet]2.0 (2015-03-04)Plone 5 + 4 safe call of the@@folder_listinglisting_macro.
[thet]Provide aredirectparent.zcmlfile. When loading it the user is
redirected to the parent folder after adding or editing. This avoids
confusing behavior of creating nested content structures, while one might add
multiple content items to one folder. For consistency reasons, this is done
for all types.
For Archetypes, this behavior is enabled by default.
[thet]Add a browserlayer for collective.folderishtypes including the .at and .dx
sub packages together with upgrade steps. Bind relevant browser views to
these browser layers.

[thet]Add z3c.autoinclude.plugin entry point.
[thet]1.5 (2012-11-30)Let the folderish types derive from Products.ATContentTypes ATFolder instead

fixes the issue that on translation of folderish types LinguaPlone’s
translation view wasn’t shown.
[thet]1.4 (2012-11-28)Give the original, non-folderish types another title, so that they can be
easily kept apart from the folderish ones.
