This extension index Plone content into ElasticSearch. This doesn’t replace the Plone catalog with ElasticSearch, nor interact with the Plone catalog at all, it merely index content inside ElasticSearch when it is modified or published. In addition to this, it provides a simple search page called search.html that queries ElasticSearch using Javascript (so Plone is not involved in searching) and propose the same features than the default Plone search page. A search portlet let you redirect people to this new search page as well. This extension have been built for Plone 4, but might work with Plone 3. Usage After adding this extension to your buildout (including the zcml), you can install the extension in Plone. A configuration screen is available inside site setup. It will let you configure the URLs of the ElasticSearch servers to use in order to index, and search. To proceed: Fill in the ElasticSearch settings, Click on Save, Click on Create Index in order to create the ElasticSearch index, Click on Import site content in order to index already existing content in ElasticSearch. You can use the same ElasticSearch server (and probably index) for multiple Plone sites, creating a federated search that way. Security disclaimer By default is no authentication or access validation while searching or indexing content. The original purpose of this search is to be public. If you have private content that you don’t want to be searchable or viewable by unauthorized people, please be sure to check the checkbox index only published content in the configuration screen. In addition to this ElasticSearch is not secured by default, meaning there is no authentication to provide in order to index or look-up content. Be sure to hide it behind a firewall and use a proxy or Apache in order to restrict the requests made to it: you only need to allow access via POST to the sub-URL _search after the index name configured in the configuration screen. For instance, if the index name is plone, you shall allow only requests to http://your-public-es-url/plone/_search. After you configured your proxy, be sure to configure its public URL, like http://your-public-es-url in the configuration screen so the search page knows how to contact it. However if you want to allow users to search though restricted and not yet published content, you can check index security and uncheck index only published content in the configuration screen. After reindexing your content, if you check proxy search requests though Plone and apply security filter, search will work on restricted and not yet published content, but will be slower as the queries will be proxied though Plone.
Like elephants don't forget anything, so does not collective.elephantvocabulary. It provides a wrapper around for existing zope.schema vocabularies and make them not forget anything. Example usecase would be a vocabulary (source) of users which from certain point in time wants to hide / deactivate some users for form or listing. But at the same time you want keep old references to user term working. This is where collective.elephantvocabulary comes into the picture. With it you wrap existing vocabulary of users and provide set of hidden list of users (term values).
This package provides TinyMCE visual editor support for embed.ly service: videos, images and other rich media can be inserted to Plone from different services through one API. The approach here is to use the Transform machinery to replace the URL with embed code by calling the embed.ly API. There are more than 200 services that support embed.ly service. These are such video sharing sites as Youtube, Blip.tv, Vimeo; such audio streaming services as Grooveshark, SoundCloud, last.fm; such image/photo stocks as Flickr, and many other: GoogleMaps, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Usage To embed media from the embedly-supported external resource to Plone: Go to the object’s edit form, select some text and click ‘Insert/Edit Embedly link’ button. In the panel add link and configure extra parameters in ‘Advanced’ tab. Check http://embed.ly/docs/arguments for params description. The text should now look like linked. TinyMCE makes the whole passage linked, so keep in mind that the whole passage will later be substituted with embedded media. Save this page. Now when rendered, there will be “preview” from embed.ly service inserted instead of the linked text. More about usage at http://projects.quintagroup.com/products/wiki/collective.embedly Note collective.embedly does not fix errors in provided URLs you can check if your URL will be transformed calling embed.ly manualy, for example: o video URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1NPLlhFTVk o you should call http://api.embed.ly/1/oembed setting ‘url’ parameter with your value o http://api.embed.ly/1/oembed?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1NPLlhFTVk o http://api.embed.ly/1/oembed?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1NPLlhFTVk&fromat=xml format result as xml You can set parameters by going to the Plone control panel / Embedly settings: o cache usage and timeout o service URL verification o API key You can update the regular expression for supported services by calling http://yourhost/plonesite/@@update_embedly_services The default is to not pass along an API key, your requests to embedly will be anonymous and based solely on IP address.
This package add a Control Panel to enable or disable external editor (ext_editor property in Plone seems to be unused) and to choose on which content types action will be available. Technically this package add a skin layer to override external_edit.py and externalEditorEnabled.py python scripts from Plone to make them call views. These views respect the same behavior as today in Plone but add security checks (now you need "Modify Portal Content" to call external_edit) and add the support for content types you choose in the configlet. Permissions 'WebDAV Unlock items' and 'WebDAV Lock items' are given to the 'Editor' role. IMPORTANT : previous settings for these permissions will be erased.
What is faceted navigation (the concept) First, what is faceted classification: A faceted classification system allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in multiple ways, rather than in a single, pre-determined, taxonomic order. -- Wikipedia (Faceted classification) Once we know what faceted classification is, we can infer what is a faceted browser: A faceted browser or faceted semantic browser is a user interface which makes use of faceted classification to allow the user to explore by filtering available information. Each facet typically corresponds to the possible values of a property common to a set of digital objects. -- Wikipedia (Faceted browser) An example would help, I guess: A traditional restaurant guide might group restaurants first by location, then by type, price, rating, awards, ambiance, and amenities. In a faceted system, a user might decide first to divide the restaurants by price, and then by location and then by type, while another user could first sort the restaurants by type and then by awards. Thus, faceted navigation, like taxonomic navigation, guides users by showing them available categories (or facets), but does not require them to browse through a hierarchy that may not precisely suit their needs or way of thinking. -- Wikipedia (Faceted classification) Sources: Faceted classification in Wikipedia; Faceted browser in Wikipedia. Various examples of faceted navigation are also available on the home page of the MIT Exhibit project. What is Faceted Navigation (the Plone product) This concept sounds cool, but what does Faceted Navigation (the product) exactly do? Once we have installed the product, we will have to configure facets (i.e. criteria), which are actually linked to default or custom catalog indexes. Then the user will see a new link in the portal actions bar (along "site map" and other links), called "Faceted navigation". This link leads to an user interface that lets the user browse portal items via... a faceted navigation.
