Provides a behavior for using CMFEditions with dexterity content types

Project description

Introduction

The IVersionable behavior is used for enabling the CMFEditions functionality for dexterity contents. It adds a changeNote-field to the edit- and add-forms and creates a new version when the content is edited, if enabled for the content type.

It’s based on Products.CMFEditions. For listing the versions of an object use CMFEdtions’ view versions_history_form or the history viewlet (see default @@view).

Usage

Just use the behavior plone.app.versioningbehavior.behaviors.IVersionable in your dexterity content type.

In your profiles/default/types/YOURTYPE.xml add the behavior:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="example.conference.presenter" meta_type="Dexterity FTI"
   i18n:domain="example.conference" xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n">

 <!-- enabled behaviors -->
 <property name="behaviors">
     <element value="plone.app.versioningbehavior.behaviors.IVersionable" />
 </property>

</object>

The IVersionable behavior just adds versioning support to your content type, but it does not enable it. You have to set the “versioning” option in the Plone types control panel (/@@types-controlpanel) to either “Manual” or “Automatic” for activating versioning.

More Information

For more information about how the versioning works see the documentations of Products.CMFEdtitions: * http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.CMFEditions * http://plone.org/products/cmfeditions/

Changelog

1.0b4 (2011-08-11)

  • Added generic setup profile which installs and enables the modifier for cloning blobs and disables the Skip_z3c_blobfile modifier. [buchi]

  • Added support for versioning blobs (NamedBlobFile, NamedBlobImage). [buchi]

1.0b3 (2011-03-01)

  • Remove grok usage, tidy up and declare zope.app.container dependency. [elro]

  • Only version the modified object, not its container on modification. [elro]

1.0b2 (2011-01-25)

  • Changed the behavior so that the changeNote field is only rendered in the Add and Edit forms. [deo]

  • Made sure to always try to catch the ArchivistUnregisteredError exception at create_version_on_save (this mimics the original handling from CMFEditions). [deo]

1.0b1 (2010-11-04)

  • Renamed package to plone.app.versioningbehavior. [jbaumann]

  • Load Products.CMFEditions before testing. [jbaumann]

  • Added some more tests. [jbaumann]

  • Renamed package to plone.versioningbehavior (see dexterity mailing list). [jbaumann]

  • Re-enabled IObjectAddedEvent-Eventhandler. The pickling error was fixed in CMFEdition’s trunk. [jbaumann]

  • Renamed the behavior marker interface IVersionOnSave to IVersioningSupport because it depends on the “version” settings in the types control panel if a content is automatically versioning on saving or not. The marker interface should only indicate if the type could be versioned or not. [jbaumann]

  • Added locales directory with own domain for local translations. [jbaumann]

  • Updated README.txt, included doctests in long-description. [jbaumann]

  • Updated tests: events and version creation are now tested properly. [jbaumann]

  • Added helper method for getting the changenote from the request annotation. [jbaumann]

  • Storing changenote in an annotation on the request between the field-adapter and the event handler which creates the version. That makes it possible to use different form and widget manager prefixes. [jbaumann]

  • Added localization for the comment field. [jbaumann]

  • Disabled the Added-Event because it’s not working due to a pickling problem. [jbaumann]

  • Added a form-field changeNote. It’s content is used as comment for the created version. [jbaumann]

  • Added a Event-Handler for creating a new version on save. [jbaumann]

  • Implemented the behavior plone.behaviors.versioning.behaviors.IVersionable. [jbaumann]
