Software development stage: development
This product product allows to create a collection of categorised, typed objects, the so-called "Toolbox". A toolbox consists of a toolbox folder that stores a certain amount of toolbox objects and makes them accessible to Plone portal users. We have used HumaineToolbox to setup a collection of emotion-oriented resources at the HUMAINE portal, including emotion databases or applications as well as emotion architectures. PLEASE NOTE: this code may serve as a code example and might not be actually useful for non-developers.

Description

The HumaineToolbox product allows to create a collection of typed objects within an emotion-oriented context. This includes emotion databases or applications as well as emotion architectures. Once a toolbox folder has been created Plone portal users can add new entries to each of the possible categories. Objects can be found by a global search form or by category. Think of this as a typed collection of "content". All objects share a basic AT schema and can have additional, specific AT schema fields. The product code has been developed in 2006 and is actively used to this day on the HUMAINE portal at http://emotion-research.net. It has been released to the Plone collective so that others can use it as well, hoping that some may find it useful. 2.

Install HumaineToolbox

If you downloaded an official tar.gz release of HumaineToolbox, first untar the whole package to your Products folder and rename the resulting folder to HumaineToolbox: $ tar xzf Your-HumaineToolbox.tar.gz
$ mv HumaineToolbox-version??? HumaineToolbox This product can be installed using the Plone portal_quickinstaller tool in the Zope Management Interface. The product will install new Archetype based content types for each of the toolbox subtypes. Furthermore, it installs a configlet inside the Plone preference panel, adds a property sheet inside portal_properties and creates several indexes to allow fast retrieval of toolbox data from portal_catalog. IMPORTANT: before you can actually use HumaineToolbox, you will have to create at least one toolbox folder. You can do so by selecting "Create HumaineToolbox content" within the ZMI or by clicking "Add item" and selecting "ToolboxFolder" or "ToolboxLargeFolder". IMPORTANT #2: please read the documentation or the README.txt before you use HumaineToolbox. New toolbox objects can be created using "Add item" if you are inside a toolbox folder. 3.

Uninstall HumaineToolbox

To remove the product from your Plone instance, just select "Uninstall" in the portal_quickinstaller tool. This will remove the Toolbox content types, delete the property sheet and configlet and last but not least removes the indexes from portal_catalog. IMPORTANT: your toolbox data will remain inside your data and will not be deleted. If you re-install HumaineToolbox at a later time, all existing toolbox folders will be available again.
