Plone automatic content generation following folder generation

I was asked to implement the following on my Plone installation:

After a user created a new folder, he should be forwarded to the creation of a new page which should then be the default view of the folder.

I tried to achieve that using content rules, but unfortunately such behavior is not supported there.

What is your suggestion of achieving that behavior?

Solution

  • The following should be a solution for your Problem

    Define an Eventhandler in events.py

    def notifyFolderIsAdded(folder, event):
    folder.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(folder.absolute_url() + "/++add++Document")

    Register the EventHandler in configure.zcml

    <subscriber
   for="plone.app.contenttypes.interfaces.IFolder
        zope.lifecycleevent.interfaces.IObjectAddedEvent"
   handler=".events.notifyFolderIsAdded" />

    Look at Events and Event Handlers in Plone Docs.
