collective.collage.nested 1.0dev

Introduction

This package enables Collage to support nested Collage objects.

Additionally, two views (Collage layouts) are available:

• full: displays exactly the same as a Collage default view, including title, description, related items and, of course, the contents (rows and columns).

• content: displays only contents (rows and columns).

To allow Collage objects to be created inside columns we had to patch Products.Collage.config.COLLAGE_TYPES and remove Collage content type from it.

Additionally, a CSS resource is registered (just below the original collage.css) to display nested column widths correctly.

Usage

If you want to create new views (layouts) for nested collage objects base your class on the new NestedCollageView one, like this:

from collective.collage.browser.views import NestedCollageView

class MyNestedCollageView(NestedCollageView):
    """ A custom view for a nested collage """
    ...

Known issues

Although COLLAGE_TYPES is patched, Collage vocabulary collage.vocabularies.CollageUserFriendlyTypes doesn’t seem to learn about it, so Collage control panel doesn’t display Collage as an allowed portal type.
