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.
collective.fancyzoomview provides smooth javascript image zooming for Plone folders, topics and news items based on Steve Smith's jQuery version of Fancy Zoom.
View and viewlet helper modules for Plone theme and five.grok developers
Flexitopic integrates the easy use of plone collections with a Flexigrid AJAX view. The criteria from the topic are taken to construct a simple query form to narrow down a search inside a collection. Subtopics are displayed inside tabs of the (old style) collection. It works with new (plone.app.collection.Collection) and old (Products.ATContentTypes.ATTopic) style collections Flexitopic does not install a new content type but just adds an additional view to the collection type. it degrades for non javascript browsers to a simple table - (almost) same usability, no information loss. it requires JQuery only (built into plone 4) no JQuery UI lightweight JS Flexigrid: 27 KB packed JSlider: 22 KB packed
collective.flowplayer integrates the GPL version of Flowplayer with Plone 4.x. It can play .flv Flash Video files, mp4 files or links as well as .mp3 files or links.
This product use basic feature given to you from Flowplayer. You must know that installing collective.flowplayer in your Plone site give you all the Flowplayer power. Unluckily the native Flowplayer's controlsbar is not always accessible: recent releases sometimes are quite usable with keyboard, but not on every browser and not all features. There's a Flowplayer plugin gives you the power to create and handle the player with an alternative JavaScript controlsbar. This product does exactly this task. The default Flash controlsbar of the player will be disabled and a new, JavaScript based, ones will be shown providing some WAI ARIA attributes. If needed you can also enable again the native Flash controlsbar (as far as only there you can access feature like the fullscreen view of your videos, due to security reasons). To do this, put to True the toolbar_flash_controlsbar property in the flowplayer_properties property sheet. The controlsbar plugin provided is not the original one you can find on Flowplayer site, but is fixed to be more accessible and fully usable using keyboard. You can move around using the TAB key (and SHIFT+TAB for moving backward) and trigger button with ENTER. When the focus is on the slider that indicate the video progress, you can: move forward/back for 5 seconds with right/left keys move forward/back for 1 minute with PAGE DOWN/PAGE UP keys move at the beginning of the video with HOME key move at the end of the video with END key If you don't care about accessibility of your videos, you don't need this package (but obviously you are a bad guy).
The captions pluging offer a great set of configuration options that you can easily change, thanks to the collective.flowplayer structure. You will find many new entry in the flowplayer_properties, but you can add new ones. Please, see the "Configuration" section of the "Flash plugin: Captions" given above, but also the Display properties and Styling properties of Flowplayer plugings guide. You are welcome to change default settings if you want cool stuffs like transparency, gradient and other. This product use a default configuration that look first of all to high video accessibility.
