Add support for taxonomies to Plone contents as a news tag-like field
Project description
What is this?
This product add a new field to all Plone contents (someway similar to the keyword field) that allow to select one or more taxonomies to reference.
A Taxonomy is commonly like normal folder and you can create them all around the site. They gives only some differences when you add additional contents inside them (but to select a taxonomy for a content you don’t need that the content is inside it).
Also the taxonomy support must be explicitly enabled on the site root and/or in one or many of the site’s subsections. In this way you can have different taxonomies set in different areas of the site.
The list of taxonomies selectable on simple contents is filtered locally if there are different sections activated.
The activation to one section block the inheritance of other taxonomies from upper levels.
Filtering policies are the following:
if there isn’t any parent of the object that implements the “ITaxonomyLevel” interface, no taxonomy will be shown and so no one are selectable.
if there are one or more parents that provides the interface, we take the nearest parent and search its availables taxonomies.
if there aren’t taxonomies, or there isn’t any activated object (object that implements ITaxonomyLevel interface; it could be also the site root) the field doesn’t appears in the field edit form.
if an object is created inside a taxonomy, the taxonomy will be the default value in the field.
How to use?
To activate the taxonomy level you can access the “Add to taxonomy roots” in the “Action” menu.
Create Taxonomy folders normally in the site.
You can also mark any other object as a Taxonomy-like but to do this you need to manually apply the collective.taxonomysupport.interfaces.IFolderTaxonomy interface.
