Features

The add-on has a cofiguration settings entry in the site administration yet. It’s form contains fields to set a choice of categories, platforms, licenses and versions of the product (for which the add-on is used). There are also fields to set the allowed file extensions of the add-on files, the image files (e.g. screenshots, logos) and the documentation.
A add-on center with listing and display of template projects respectively to their rating, a search form and a listing of the latest projects.
The add-on center edit form contains fields to set the title of the center and the name of the add-ons and add a description of the center.
Inside the add-on center contributors could create add-on projects. The edit form of the project contains fields to choose the categories.
The contributor could add releases and linked releases to the add-on project.
The release contains fields to upload files.
The linked release provide fields for links to the release files.
Both, release and linked release, contains fields to choose the product version, platform and licenses.
The add-on send message once a new project was added. It push a message too, once a project was submitted for publication. It send an email to the project contact address for every change in the workflow status of the project.
The add-on informs the contributor via email about new releases or linked releases, once they were added to his project(s).
The user could send a message to the author of an add-on via a mail. The mail form uses a honeypot field and the collective.honeypot technology to protect the form. The contact data of the author of the addon will not be made public.
The file extensions of the uploaded add-ons will be checked. It is possible to set the allowed file extensions distinct for the specific use case of the add-on center. They could be dynamically changed at any time.
The add-on sends messages to the project contact email on every edit of the add-on center’s product versions field (thus the contributors could potentially add this new product version to their release / linked release).
