3 This packages adds support for categories with hierarchies.
4 To accomplish this, it offers a widget for setting the categories
5 on content, and a custom Indexer that takes care that the hierarchical
6 nature is working with search too.
10 1. Create a Vocabulary with a hierarchy in the ATVocabularyManager
11 2. Create a Content type a Field that uses that vocabulary and the
13 3. Add an instance of the content type and use it.
17 If somebody wants to search for all nodes, and some object has
18 a subnode selected, the package assumes that given somebody also wants to
19 find that object. If you want to see all cars and one item has the
20 sub category beetle set, this item will be found too. This functionality
21 is provided by a custom indexer 'tree_categories'.
25 The widget is based on the jquery extension dynatree:
26 http://wwwendt.de/tech/dynatree/index.html
28 It generates list of selected options and a button to show a tree of possible
29 options. You can add Options by clicking on the checkbox, and you can remove
30 buttons by clicking on the checkbox again. Additionally, the list of selected
31 options have an x icon per option, that you can use for removing items too.
33 The changes are applied immediatelly.
35 Additionally to the possibility of having multiple fields that use the
36 widget on a single content type, there exists support to use the widget
37 in customized folder_contents view, for setting options on multiple content
38 objects at once. That feature is still a bit experimental, so there is no
39 documentation yet on how to use it.
43 Upon installing, a new index is added, tree_categories.
44 The package also adds an indexer of its own, that tries
45 to index all vocabulary Fields of all AT Content types.
46 Be careful, that might slow indexing down!
50 - It is untested if i18n with vdex categories work together with LinguaPlone
51 - It would be nice, if we could be independent from ATVocabularyManager.
52 That would mean, that this package would contain an utility of its own and
53 one or more new views.
54 - It would also be nice to make this work with dexterity
