TTWType - a product for defining new CMF types via the ZMI
you can use TTWType to define new CMF portal types via
the ZMI (without creating a new product). This is different
to modifying existing portal types as you can also add new
fields.
This is some sort of prototype implementation to test
this idea.
Prerequisites
- Formulator (tested with 1.3.0)
- CMF
- Plone (might be optional, I only tested it with Plone)
Installation
create an external method inside your portal with the
following data:
id -- install_ttwtype
title -- Install TTW Type
module name -- TTWType.Install
function name -- install
Then click on the Test Tab and the skins aswell as the
navigation and validation properties for a plone site
will be installed.
Ready it's for usage.
Usage
1. Go to the portal_types inside your Portal.
2. Add a new "TTW type information" from the drop-down box
3. optionally fill in description and title
4. click on the "Fields" tab on the top
5. you will be presented by a Formulator management screen.
Simply add fields and configure them.
These will be used in the edit form also.
6. now you can add your new type via the normal Plone/CMF interface
Optionally you can then adjust the ttw_view skin (copy it to
a new name and change the view action in your type information).
