This project aims to virtualize Plone default keywords (categories), which are flat, to the tree. Contains Archetypes widget, based on InAndOut widget, which replaces Plone's default widget for categories and contains configlet which allows to assign flat keywords to virtual tree defined in the configlet.
Site manager defines virtual tree nodes and assigns keywords to the nodes. One keyword may be assigned to any number of nodes (0-all).
The controlpanel contains checkbox, which allows to set the VirtualTreeCategories widget as default widget for the Subject field of all Archetypes based content types.
Install using buildout.cfg. If you want to use this product in Plone3, you must specify [plone3] extra due to dependency on collective.js.jquery (this package requires jQuery 1.3+).
If you want to use this widget in your dexterity content type, you need to specify [dexterity] extra in eggs section of the buildout. You also need to use Keyword field from collective.z3cform.keywordwidget for your schema field and finally set VirtualTreeCategoriesFieldWidget as widget for the field. Please note, this feature requires collective.z3cform.keywordwidget > 1.1.1 or svn branch currently.
Please note, this release is not tested on Plone 3, but is supposed to work.
added extender which allows to fiddle AT schema and show VTCWidget instead of KeywordWidget. It is possible to switch widget on/off in the controlpanel.
