Details

You use Zope? Ever used the CMF? It's fun, isn't it? Ever tried adding a new metadata element? - Now you can simply click a button and got a new metadata field, with flexible validation algorithms (Dictionary, String, Text, Date) and a new Metadata-Index.

BEWARE! This patch may be very unstable, but is in production use here at gocept. We didn't test it exhaustively but it runs very fine. This is only a disclaimer that we don't take responsibility for anything this patch may disturb, destroy or beam to another planet. Migration from current CMF 1.3 installations should work, but this is very unlikely. Best method to test is: Make a backup of your ZODB, remove the Metadatatool and install the CMFDefault:Metadatatool again. Your metadata configuration will be lost, but the metadata itself will be kept. Good luck.

Features

• Modularized validation code
• Flexible "proxy index"
• Metadata elements independent of original object attributes
• Editable ZPT formular.

You need Zope CMF 1.3 for running it.

A README with Installation/Configuration instructions is provided with the distribution.

ChangeLog since last snapshot

  ctheune

  The bug when adding a new field with a vocabulary seems to have gone. I don't know why.

• 26.11.2002

  ctheune

  possible fix for Metadata if REQUEST has no "pop" method.

  ctheune

  getMetadata of PortalContent had a non-Default value "default" argument

  ctheune

  Fixed the kw argument. "kw" was already used in this function and so shadowed the kw argument.

  ctheune

  refixed the default dictionary. Of course it has to be a list. It's a list of valid values. Need an other fix for the problem.

  fixed catalog updates after changing the metadata
