So now that we've got plone.app.collection in 4.2, how do we want to handle
collections portlets?
We currently ship with plone.portlet.collection. plone.app.collection adds its
own, largely the same (though missing some of the more recent features/fixes
added to the other).
Should the p.a.collection version be made the default (and updated for parity
with p.portlet.collection) or should p.portlet.collection be updated to handle
the newer collections (and remove the portlet functionality from
p.a.collection)?
Seems like the latter would be the simpler option.
I made some progress toward supporting new-style collections in
plone.portlet.collection (by adding a backward-compatible queryCatalog method
to the collection class in plone.app.collection...really not too hard except
for figuring out how to get non-IContentListing-wrapped results out of the
query builder). Remaining tasks:
- The code path for when the 'random order' option is selected is currently
broken. To fix it the BBB queryCatalog needs to accept a sort_on parameter and
pass it through to where the query is constructed.
- The plone.portlet.collection functional test needs to be updated to create a
new-style collection instead of a Topic.
- We need to figure out what to do with the unnecessary portlet in
plone.app.collection. (There have been releases of plone.app.collection so it
doesn't seem like we should just remove it. A migration will be a pain since
it'll have to find all the portlet assignments to update them. If the 2 portlet
assignment classes have the same attributes maybe we can use a module alias,
but I haven't evaluated that.)
