Slidehows and carousels¶
Description
How to use annotation design pattern to store arbitary values on Python objects (Plone site, HTTP request) for storage and caching purposes.
Migrate Products.Slideshow to Products.Carousel¶
Here is a sample migration code to transform your site from one add-on to another.
We create a migration view which you can call by typing in view name manually to web browser.
This code will
- Scan site for folders which have Slideshow add-on enabled. In this example we check against a predefined list (scanned earlier), but the code contains example how to detect slideshow folders
- Create Carousel for those folders
- Create corresponds Carousel Banners for all Slideshow Image content items
- Set some Carousel settings
- Make sure that we invalidate cache for content items going through migration
- Set a new default view for folders which were using slideshow
Also
- After inspecting the process was ok you can delete migrated images
carousel.py:
"""
Migrate slideshow to carousel.
Usage:
http://yoursite/@@migrate_carousel - the process can be repeated with adjusted settings. It's non-descructive.
http://yoursite/@@delete_migrated_slideshow_images

AJAX full-size image loading for album views¶
Plone album views can be easily converted to pop-up image viewing with PipBox.
Put the following to portal_properties / pipbox_properties
Album view <a> click handler:
{type:'overlay', subtype:'image', selector:'.photoAlbumEntry a', urlmatch:'/view$', urlreplace:'/image_large'}
Note
portal_javascript must be in debug mode while testing different Products.PipBox handlers.
