transmogrify.dexterity 2.0.0

Actually tested and supported fields

• TextLine or Text

• Bool

• List

• NamedFileField

  needs a dict with data and filename or get the filename in a seperated value from the pipeline

• Date

  needs a datetime.date or datetime.datetime object, or a string in the following format “%Y-%m-%d”

• Datetime

  needs a datetime.datetime object, or a string parseable by DateTime.DateTime e.g. “2015-12-31 17:59:59” or “2004/12/30 00:20:00 GMT+1” etc.

transmogrify.dexterity.csvimport

This pipeline will convert a CSV file into dexterity content. To use it:

• Name your CSV entries.csv

• Create a file called transmogrifier.txt with the one line transmogrify.dexterity.csvimport

• Add both to a .tar.gz file

• Visit /Plone/portal_setup/manage_importSteps

• Select the tarball you just made

• “Import uploaded tarball”

…or add it as part of another GS profile.

The first row of the CSV is presumed to be column headings. Unless a special column, the column will be presumed to be a dexterity property to update on the type. Special column names are:-

• _type

  portal_type of content (optional, default is Document)

• _path

  Full path to content item, including content item.

• _folder

  Folder containing item, id will be derived from title

• _transitions

  Workflow transition (optional, default is “publish”)

• Update plone.dublincore behavior fields, even if the object doesn’t have this behavior. [wesleybl]

• Add suport to Python 3.7 and 3.8 [wesleybl]

• Add suport to Plone 4.3, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 [wesleybl]

1.6.4 (2018-12-14)

• DatetimeDeserializer: check for the case when value is an empty string. [erral]

1.6.3 (2016-10-11)

• Refactor DexterityUpdateSection: Factor out determining default value, getting value from pipeline and updating fields into their own methods. [lgraf]

1.6.2 (2016-05-24)

• Fix blueprint context for support with transmogrifier package (not collective.transmogrifier), which does not have dependencies to CMFPlone and thus doesn’t provide a useful context. [thet]

1.6.1 (2015-09-30)

• Do not import from deprecated zope.app.intid anymore, use zope.intid instead [jensens]

• Fix deserializer if datetime is string “None”. [elioschmutz]

• Implement new deserializer for datetime fields. [mbaechtold]

1.5.2 (2015-07-13)

• Fix default container description to be unicode, not bytestring. See https://github.com/plone/plone.dexterity/pull/33 [jone]

1.5.1 (2015-05-27)

• Make z3c.relationfield imports conditional. [jone]

1.5 (2015-05-26)

• When retrieving the object via traversal from the path, check if it provides IDexterityContent. Traversal can also return attributes of objects, if no object can be found but the path element is named like an attribute. [thet]

• Handle collective.jsonify structures, specifically _datafield_FIELDNAME and _content_type_FIELDNAME keys. [thet]

• PEP8. [thet]

• Add value converters for z3c.relationfield relation(-lists). [deiferni]

• Add blueprint for managing plone.app.multilingual translations [rnix]

1.3 (2014-07-25)

• Use zope.dottedname.resolve to find class [lentinj]

• Add ‘logger’ and ‘loglevel’ options so invalid fields are logged when disable-constraints is True [ebrehault]

1.2 (2013-08-29)

• Only update with a default value if there isn’t a value already set on the field. (NB: before a default value would be set, regardless of the current field value). [lentinj]

1.1 (2013-07-23)

• Don’t try to write readonly fields [djowett]

• Added in a generic CSV -> content pipeline [lentinj]

1.0 (2011-11-17)
