Comparing CMF types with ATContentTypes ---------------------------------------

This is a very rough and short list of differences between the old CMF types and the new ATContentTypes types.

• Archetypes: All types are written with Archetypes and have all features default Archetypes based types have like:
  • autogenerated edit forms based on the schema
  • referenceable
  • Easily enhanceable by subclassing or adding fields to the schema
  • Transformations like restructured text, python source code highlighting, pdf to html, office to html and many more.
  • plugable validation of fields
• Clean and documented API.
• Translateable using LinguaPlone.
• Dynamic Views: All types are using the new dynamic view FTI that allows you to choose the view template per instance. You can configure the templates in the portal_types tool. This features is used to turn an ordinary folder into a photo album by simple switching to a different view.
• Permissions per type and feature: Every type has its own add permission and all features like template mixin have their own modify permission, too.
• Numerous small adjustments and enhancements to all types for example:
  • Images can be rotated through the web and have exif informations
  • News Items have an image plus caption
  • Events have a body text
  • Documents have a history tab to show the last changes as an unified diff view using the ZODB history.
