Creating new content type based on the default 'File' type - appending '/view' to listed items in folder

[richardc]

Hi,

I've used the following guidelines to create a new content item based on the default 'File' type. This works nicely, except when listed under the the view or contents tab of a folder, the URLs of the uploaded items for the new content type are missing the '/view' suffix. This means that clicking on a listed item does not go to a view display of the item but instead attempts to open/download the file.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how to append '/view' to the URLs of the listed items.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi, Richard

Check chapter 5 of Plone 3 Products Development Cookbook.
Fortunatelly, there's an online free version of it in Packt website:

http://www.packtpub.com/article/creating-custom-content-type-paster-plone-3

See the section "Changing the base class in paster content types".

You have to modify the View action in your content type xml file.

In ZMI look for portal_properties -> site_properties
There should be a property called

   typesUseViewActionInListings

Add your type to the list there.

Does that make a difference?
