Provides the types "Folderish Event", "Folderish News Item" and "Folderish Document" as replacements for their Plone ATContentTypes equivalents. Those types are able to hold any other content, like a Folder.
There is a "portlet" profile, which installs a portlet to show the contents of an folderish type.
You can limit the types, which can be added to FolderishTypes by providing a Generic Setup import type configuration.
The reason for this package is, that in my experience it's easier to group related content together at one place. An article about something fancy might have an image gallery associated with it as well as some pdf-downloads. With this package you can put everything inside the article. Another use case is that you can structure content hierarchically and don't need to define "default pages" - a concept hard to understand and handle (see: https://sixfeetup.com/blog/plone-drupal-features )
Alexander Limi also wished folderish content back in 2008: "#10: Content re-use is overrated — people like folderish" https://limi.net/things-plone
A upgrade step "PloneArticle to Folderish Document" in the
collective.folderishtypes default profile for migrating PloneArticle objects to
Folderish Document objects is provided. Note, this does not cover
PloneArticleMultiPage at the moment.
Non-folderish content types are missing some BTree attributes, which folderish
content types have (See Products.BtreeFolder2.BTreeFolder2Base._initBtrees
).
plone.app.folder provides an upgrade view to migrate pre-plone.app.folder (or
non-folderish) types to the new BTree based implementation (defined in:
plone.app.folder.migration.BTreeMigrationView).
To upgrade your non-folderish content types to folderish ones, just call
@@migrate-btrees on your Plone site root, and you're done.
