Introduction

collective.filepreviewbehavior contains a behavior for using Products.ARFilePreview with dexterity content types. The views and some adapters are overwritten ARFilePreview uses some Archetypes specific stuff.

BE WARNED: If you have a dexterity setup, you may not want to install Archetypes. But Products.ARFilePreview was developed for Archetypes and may still depend on it.

Usage

Add the behavior collective.filepreviewbehavior.interfaces.IPreviewable to the behaviors list of your dexterity conten type, then the uploaded file will be converted to a HTML preview.

Use as name for the file-field "file" and mark it as primary field. The file field should be in your primary schema interfaces, a behavior schema interface may not work.

For more information about marking as primary field check out the dexterity documentation (the chapter on webdav): http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/manual/developer-manual/advanced/webdav-and-other-file-representations

The Views

Products.ARFilePreview provides three views: * file_preview : A view containg the download link and a the preview of the document embedded in the plone theme. * preview_provider : A view only containing the preview of the document. This view can be used as fullscreen / popup preview. * file_asdoc : A view only containing the preview of the document, but embedded in the plone theme.

You may the make some actions for your content, collective.filepreviewbehavior will not create any actions.
