sc.contentrules.layout 1.0 (beta)

Content Rules Action: Set layout for a content item

Overview

Content Rules: Set Layout (sc.contentrules.layout) package provides a content rule action to set a layout or default view for a content item.

This package is tested with Travis CI:

Use case

Some Plone content types allows the user to select one of many available layouts to be used as default view. A good example is the Folder content type which provides options like Folder Summary View and Tabular View.

It is possible to change the default view for a content type but it will affect the entire portal, so if an editor wants to, in an area of the portal, to change the default view of newly created Folder content items to Folder Summary View, he will need to do it manually.

This package provides an action, Set Layout that allows content managers , using content rules, to selectively apply layouts to content items.

Actions
