seantis.dir.base 1.5.2

Introduction
============

seantis.dir.base allows to put dexterity objects into 1-4 categories, showing those categories in a browsable and searchable catalog.

The idea of this plone module is to provide all basic functionality needed to categorize, search and filter objects. These objects may be extended with custom fields using dexterity.

An example, offering a directory of contacts can be found here: https://github.com/seantis/seantis.dir.contacts

This module is probably only really useful for anyone if used as a base to build on. By itself it only offers the categorization and search functionalities.

Changelog
=========

1.5.2
-----
- Stop hooking up group forms completely, fixing an issue in seantis.dir.events
- Adds functional tests for forms

1.5.1
-----
- Limit portlet blocking to directory, making it easy to enable portlets for
all items through the portlet settings of the directory. Fixes #4.
- Fixes form view failing on IDirectoryCategorized items outside a directory
- Fixes form reordering issue on group forms

1.5
---
- Adds a behavior with which any item can be used as a directory item.

This is a major change to the way directories and their items relate to each
other internally. All directories using seantis.dir.base have to be migrated
by adding the new IDirectoryCategorized behavior to the each item and
reimporting the typeinof.

- Adds category values to KML document
- View now use their own directory specific browserlayer
- Adds ability to define new xls exports through adapters
- Fixes crash in big excel exports
- Removes Directory Item Viewlets in Directory View. They have not been working
correctly sinde 1.3 anyway.
- Defines slots in macros which may be replaced by directories building on
seantis.dir.base. This may be used as an alternative to the viewlets.

1.4.1
-----
- Provide better default template for result list entry
- Provide a macro for default directory information
- Fixes search viewlet being hidden on item view
- New flag allow_custom_categories on directory which can be used to prevent users
from entering their own categories on items

1.4
---
- Map markers macro is now compatible with both brains and actual objects
- Requires Plone 4.3 to run

1.3
---
- Map markers are now always set in the order of the itemview's batch list.
- The directory no longer uses a homegrown getObject cache and will instead
use catalog brains as much as possible. Directories building on
seantis.dir.base might have taken that for granted, so they might be
incompatible with this version.

As a result, viewlets registered with the DirectoryItemViewletManager now
need to expect catalog brains instead of objects.

The upsides are big performance gains and more stability.

1.2
---

- onegov.ch approved: add badge to readme.
- Makes catalog adaptable for better customization
- Adds maps to items using collective.geo
- Refactors design. Base does no longer hold it's own type.

---

- Adds absolute url to xls export as a read only field

1.0.1
-----

- Fixes an IE7 bug resulting in shrinking input boxes
