Overview

This package provides base classes for folderish Archetypes / ATContentTypes content types based on B-trees, a.k.a. "large folders" in Plone. Storing content in such folders provides significant performance benefits over regular folders.

The package only contains the integration layer for the base class provided by plone.folder, however. Please see there for more detailed information.

Caveats

If you are using plone.app.folder in your product you may notice that PloneTestCase will fail to setup a Plone site for your functional tests. This can be resolved by adding this line to your functional test source:

from plone.app.folder.tests import bbb

• Adjust tests to work with Zope 2.13 and avoid deprecation warnings. [hannosch]
