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
