I'm looking for some advice about how to approach the following problem I
have related to a theme product I'm developing:
I need to display folder contents sorted by publication date, which would be
easy enough, except that I need creation date to be used in the event that
an object does not have a publication date.
What's the best way to tackle this? I can't just deal with the subset of
stuff that getFolderContents() returns, because that's already had batching
applied, so I wouldn't be dealing with the full set of folder contents, and
I don't want to just turn batching off.
If I didn't know better I'd say that I need a special catalog index that is
equivalent to: (effective_date or creation_date). If that existed for all
objects, then I could just let the normal getFolderContents() function do
its magic by ensuring that I give it a
{'sort_on':'effective_or_creation_date'} as the contentFilter.
Any other ideas?
And if not - what's the plone3 best practice for creating a new catalog
index?
thanks,
-David Hostetler
