bda.plone.productshop 1.0b1

A brief description about the contained types

Product

A product which can be added to folders. A product consists of default metadata, an image, a detailed description, a datasheet and related items.

Product Group

A product group is a collection of product like objects with several aspects applied to it. The contained items are of type Variant. Further a product group provides the same fields as a Product. The default variant aspects for newly created variants inside this product group can be defined on the product group.

Variant

A Variant is a Product with several aspects applied to it, like weight, size, etc. and is contained in a Product Group. The different aspects can be enabled and disabled explicitly after creation via object actions. The default aspects enabled are read from parent product group

A brief description about the contained views

product tiles

The product tiles view can be applied on site root and folders. The view displays a grid of tiles built of contained folders and buyable items. If tile context is a folder, title and description are taken from the folder, and the preview image is taken randomly from a contained buyable item. If tile context is a buyable item, title, description and preview image are taken from it and on mouse over buyable controls are rendered in an overlay for this item. The number of grid columns rendered can be defined globally in control panel, or, if IProductTilesViewSettingsBehavior is applied on folders directly (plone.app.contenttypes only, Archetypes folders are not suppoerted).

product listing

The product listing can be applied on folders and on product groups. When applied on folder it lists the first level of the contained products and product groups. When applied on a product group it lists the contained variants and a filter at the top to restrict listing by variant aspects.

product view

The product view can be applied on products, product groups an variants. When applied on products, it displays the product data and the buyable controls provided by bda.plone.shop. When applied on a variant, additionally the aspect filter gets shown which can be used for instant navigation between available variants in containing product group. When applied on a product group the first contained variant gets displayed as descibed above.

Install standalone

Install system dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

Install Instance:

virtualenv --no-site-packages vpython
./vpython/bin/python bootstrap.py
./bin/buildout

Install as product

Add bda.plone.productshop to the instance eggs in buildout.cfg or depend your integration package to it.

Install as addon in plone control panel or via generic setup dependency in your integration package.

Following steps are necessary to add a variant aspect

Create a variant behavior like the ones in bda.plone.productshop.behaviors:

@provider(IFormFieldProvider)
class IDemandBehavior(IVariantAspect):
    """Demand variant behavior.
    """
    model.fieldset(
        'aspects',
        label=_(u'aspects', default=u'Aspects'),
        fields=['demand'])
    demand = schema.TextLine(
        title=_(u'demand_title', default=u'Demand'),
        description=_(u'demand_description',
                      default=u'Demand of the product'),
        required=False)

Note: Aspect field type must always be a text line to work correctly with

the filter views.

Register this behavior via ZCML:

<plone:behavior
  title="Demand"
  description="Extend content with product demand."
  provides=".behaviors.IDemandBehavior"
  for="collective.instancebehavior.IInstanceBehaviorAssignableContent" />

Create an indexer for the aspect field like the ones in bda.plone.productshop.indexer:

@indexer(IDemandBehavior)
def demand_aspect(obj):
    return obj.demand

Note: Index name must be postfixed with _aspect all over the place.

this way we hopefully avoid naming collisions.

Register the indexer via ZCML:

<adapter name="demand_aspect" factory=".indexer.demand_aspect" />

Create the index at install time via generic setup profile. Add to catalog.xml:

<index name="demand_aspect" meta_type="FieldIndex">
  <indexed_attr value="demand_aspect" />
</index>

Create the object action for the aspect that it can be enabled ttw like the ones in bda.plone.productshop.browser.actions:

class DemandAction(VariantAspectAction):
    aspect_title = _(u'aspect_demand', default=u'Demand')
    aspect_behavior = 'bda.plone.productshop.behaviors.IDemandBehavior'
    aspect_schema = IDemandBehavior

Configure necessary action views:

<!-- demand -->
<browser:page
  name="enable_demand"
  attribute="enable_aspect"
  for="..interfaces.IVariant"
  class=".actions.DemandAction"
  permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent"
  layer="..interfaces.IProductShopExtensionLayer" />

<browser:page
  name="disable_demand"
  attribute="disable_aspect"
  for="..interfaces.IVariant"
  class=".actions.DemandAction"
  permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent"
  layer="..interfaces.IProductShopExtensionLayer" />

<browser:page
  name="can_enable_demand"
  attribute="can_enable"
  for="*"
  class=".actions.DemandAction"
  permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent"
  layer="..interfaces.IProductShopExtensionLayer" />

<browser:page
  name="can_disable_demand"
  attribute="can_disable"
  for="*"
  class=".actions.DemandAction"
  permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent"
  layer="..interfaces.IProductShopExtensionLayer" />

Create the corresponding object actions at install time via generic setup profile. Add to actions.xml:

<!-- demand -->
<object name="enable_demand"
        meta_type="CMF Action"
        i18n:domain="bda.plone.productshop">
  <property name="title" i18n:translate="">
      Add demand
  </property>
  <property name="description" i18n:translate="">
      Add demand to product variant
  </property>
  <property name="url_expr">
      string:${object/absolute_url}/@@enable_demand
  </property>
  <property name="icon_expr"></property>
  <property name="available_expr">
      object/@@can_enable_demand
  </property>
  <property name="permissions">
      <element value="Modify portal content" />
  </property>
  <property name="visible">True</property>
</object>

<object name="disable_demand"
        meta_type="CMF Action"
        i18n:domain="bda.plone.productshop">
  <property name="title" i18n:translate="">
      Remove demand
  </property>
  <property name="description" i18n:translate="">
      Remove demand from product variant
  </property>
  <property name="url_expr">
      string:${object/absolute_url}/@@disable_demand
  </property>
  <property name="icon_expr"></property>
  <property name="available_expr">
      object/@@can_disable_demand
  </property>
  <property name="permissions">
      <element value="Modify portal content" />
  </property>
  <property name="visible">True</property>
</object>
