betahaus.openmember Description

A member database to track membership over time The betahaus.openmember module is a database for managing members and tracking changes to their personal information. This includes memberships to fiscal years, participation to events etc.Installationbuildout: * Add betahaus.openmember entries to eggs and zcml in the appropriate buildout configuration file. (typcially buildout.cfg) * Re-run buildout. (./bin/buildout) * Restart the instance * Install via portal_quickinstaller or Site Setup in ploneEventsThere are four events available OMemberAddedEvent, OMemberWillBeModifiedEvent, OMemberModifiedEvent and OMemberDeletedEvent. Register a listener like:< subscriber for="betahaus.openmember.interfaces.IOMemberAddedEvent" handler=".handlers.added" / >where handlers.py looks like:>>> def added(event):... contenttype_object = event.object... databse_object = event.om_objectConfigurationAfter following the install instructions you need to configure the database for what content to monitor and what fields of that content to monitor. Now you can choose to use a shipped content type called MemberPerson. Or you can take any content type that you like and make sure it implements the interface betahaus.openmember.interfaces.IOpenMember. The recommended way is to add a zcml five:implements entry:< five:implements class="path.to.your.contentType" interface="betahaus.openmember.interfaces.IOpenMember"/ >Next you need to configure what fields on your content type that will be monitored. This is done via the openmember controlpanel reachable from the Site Setup. Each field configuration should have the structure of:field_name | index_type | labelfield_name This is the field name of the content type.index_type This is the type of index to be used, typical indexes are ZCTextIndex, DateIndex and KeywordIndex.label What should be displayed for this field. This parameter is optional.You can also set what fields that should be title fields. These fields are the fields that show up in the search portlet and result table.Extending the control panelOpen Member can easily be extended with extra functionality. Sometimes the extension requires configuration using a configuration panel. To help the user in having all the configurations related to OpenMember in the same place you can register sub sections to the OpenMember configuration panel.Two parts are needed to register an extension to the configuration panel. One schema that defines the fields that make up the configuration panel, and one adapter the implements the schema and takes care of reading/writing the values.The schema should have the following structure:>>> from betahaus.openmember.interfaces import IOMControlPanelForm>>> from zope import schema>>> class ExampleSchema(IOMControlPanelForm):... """Example schema for openmember sub control panel"""... example = schema.List(name='example')The key point here is that the schema must inherit from the IOMControlPanelForm and have a schema based on zope.schema.The adapter should have the following structure:>>> from Products.CMFDefault.formlib.schema import SchemaAdapterBase>>> from Products.CMFPlone.interfaces import IPloneSiteRoot>>> from betahaus.openmember.browser.controlpanel import>>> from betahaus.exports.openmember import PROJECTNAME>>> class ExamplePanelAdapter(SchemaAdapterBase):... """Openmember control panel extension for examples settings."""... implements(ExampleSchema)... adapts(IPloneSiteRoot)...... def getId(self):... """The Id must be lowercase"""... return 'example'...... def getLabel(self):... """The label can be translated to any language"""... return _(u'Example')... --- Getters and setters for the schema defined above. --->>> registerForm(ExampleSchema, PROJECTNAME)The key points here are:: * The adapter should inherit from SchemaAdapterBase or has that in the inheritance chain. * The adapter must implement the Schema defined previously, including the functions getId and getLabel * The registration of the schema with the OpenMember control panelThe last step is to register the adapter in zcml:< adapter factory=".controlpanel.ExamplePanelAdapter" / >Now you are done. Requirements: · Python · Plone CMS What's New in This Release: · Made the options list sorted by Title. · Fixed a bug of clearing indexes on reinstall. · Added possibility to on field level define om_accessor. · Changed the reference caching in the table view to lookup on need. · Fixed a bug with modified date on database objects. · Made an Archetypes independent MemberData implementation · Added roles for searching and managing the database. · MemberData is now responsible for versioning. · Removed import of private AT function that doesn't exist in Plone 4. · Plone 4 compatibility check
