Update of /cvsroot/plone-docs/PloneBook/en In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv9249 Modified Files: ch11.rst Log Message: Some fixes from Joel Index: ch11.rst =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/plone-docs/PloneBook/en/ch11.rst,v retrieving revision 1.1 retrieving revision 1.2 diff -C2 -d -r1.1 -r1.2 *** ch11.rst 30 Aug 2004 00:35:42 -0000 1.1 --- ch11.rst 30 Aug 2004 00:37:26 -0000 1.2 *************** *** 7,11 **** Throughout the book I've shown you how to add content to your site, and I've discussed the content types that come with Plone, such as documents, images, and so on. So far, however, you've been restricted to just these content types and the ones provided as products that you can find on the Internet. But the most powerful part of Plone is the core topic of this chapter: manipulating these content types. ! In this chapter, I compare and contrast the different object types in Plone. This provides some insight into development tactics for your own projects. Then I cover the content types and how they're registered inside Plone. This registration provides the basis for customizing the types into the format you'd like. Then I move onto content categorization and searchingâtasks you'll want to know how to perform. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to make key decisions about how to develop your site and create new content types. So, I'll now whet your appetite about manipulating content types. Once you can customize an entirely new content type, you can have users adding and editing almost anything you want! Some of the examples include the following: --- 7,11 ---- Throughout the book I've shown you how to add content to your site, and I've discussed the content types that come with Plone, such as documents, images, and so on.

Click any of these objects to access the type's information; for example, when you click an event, you get the local copy of the information about the content type. You can alter this through the Web to change your configuration. The following are the values in that form: ! - **Title**: This is a title for the content type. This isn't used in Plone. - **Description**: This is the description that appears for this content type. This is used if you go to folder contents and click *add* without selecting a content type to addâa list of all the content types and their descriptions will appear. --- 79,83 ---- Each of these objects is an instance of factory type information, which is the name for a particular type of configuration.
