Zope 2.4 introduces a new way to register customized indexes
(see PluggableIndex interface).
Changes to Indexes:
New package structure
- The indexes (TextIndex, FieldIndex, KeywordIndex, PathIndex) shipped
with the Zope 2.4 distribution now live in 'lib/python/Products/PluginIndexes'.
Every index type has now its own package containing all dependent
modules, DTML management files...
- modules used by all index types reside in the 'common' directory
- all dependencies from the 'lib/python/SearchIndex' directory were removed
- 'lib/python/SearchIndex' is deprecated and should no longer be used.
It is kept for backward compatibility.
Changes to all indexes:
- every index type implements the PluggableIndex interface
- 'common/util.py' provides functionality for handling the 'request'
parameter of the _apply_index() function. _apply_index()
now handles old-style ZCatalog parameters, passing of Record
instances and dictionary-like parameters. See common/util.py
for details.
Changes to KeywordIndex:
- default search operator 'or' may be overridden by specifying a new one as
'operator' (see below)
- internal changes
Changes to FieldIndex:
- internal changes
Changes for PathIndex:
- new index type
Changes to ZCatalog
- added ZCatalogIndexes.py to provide access to indexes with pluggable
index interface
Parameter passing to the ZCatalog
Parameter passing to the ZCatalog/Catalog has been enhanced and unified
and is now much more logical.
- Method 1: The old way to pass a query including parameters to an index XXX
was to specify the query as value in the request dictionary. Additional
parameters were passed XXX_parameter : <value> in the request dictionary.
(This method is deprecated).
- Method 2: The query and all parameters to be passed to an index XXX are
passed as dictionary inside the request dictionary. Example:
old: <dtml-in myCatalog(myindex='xx yy')
new: <dtml-in myCatalog(myindex={'query':'xx yy','XXXXX':'blabla')
Please check the indexes documentation for informations about additional
parameters.
- Method 3: Inside a formular you can use Record as types for parameter passing.
Example:
<form action=...>
<input type=text name="person.query:record" value="">
<input type=hidden name="person.operator:record" value="and">
..</form>
and in the DTML method:
<dtml-in myCatalog(person=person)>
This example will pass both parameters as a Record instance to the index
'person'.
All index types of Zope support all three methods. On the DTML level only
method 3 type parameter should be used.
Backward compatibility:
- any existing pre-2.4 ZCatalog should work under 2.4
- pre-2.4 indexes of a ZCatalog are marked as 'pre-2.4 Index' in the Index view of the
ZCatalog
- '# objects' is set to 'not available' for pre-2.4 indexes
