A list of people, optionally organized by organisations and positions.
Project description
Municiaplities for which we contribute to OneGov often require a public list of contacts. For the customers and us this package needs to scratch the following itches:
The directory must not force a set of fields on the user. Each customer should have the option to create its own set of fields. At the same time there should be at least one reasonable standard.
Some fields should only be visible with certain permissions. Think mobile phone number.
Elected officials are part of many comitees and councils. It must be easy to define the timespans during which any person was part of such an organization. It must also always be clear what the role of the person was.
Design
This is how we plan to scratch the aforementioned itches:
We give the user the possiblity to define a list of people. Each list consists of a number of dexterity objects with IPerson behavior. Within one list only one dexterity type is allowed.
Through the schema of the dexterity type we define the fields, their required read and write permissions, the fields shown in the list, the order of those fields, the fields available for filtering in the list, and the fields shown in the detail view.
These dexterity types may be installed by any package or they may be included in seantis.people, available through separate profiles. (It’s technically even possible to create them through the web, but we don’t recommend this approach for various reasons.)
We devine an organzation-behavior which any folderish dexterity type may adapt. Types with that behavior may then have people added to them with entry, exit and role information.
We display the memberships of each person using the entry, exit and role information. We identity the organization solely by url and title. This will give users the ability to have some plone page act as an organization, which frees os from having to reinvent the wheel there.
Status
The people types and list are pretty much ready for a first release. We are currently working on the organisation part of the module.
