visaplan.plone.staticthumbnails

This Plone add-on adds "static" thumbnails to content objects; the idea is

• to make thumbnail images available even for objects the user can't access (e.g. for object listings which include restricted but offered objects)
• since the Zope permissions system is bypassed anyway, the front-end webserver can quite as well serve those images itself;
• thus, the thumbnails are written to the filesystem.

Features

• Provides a mixin class IStaticThumbnails
• which features the getThumbnailPath method.
• This method checks the date and time of the image in the image property and creates any missing thumbnail image in the filesystem
• before returning the TTW path to this image file,
• which usually follows the pattern /++thumbnail++/<UUID>.
• It is not normally executed during the common web requests but only when the object is reindexed; thus, the TTW path to the thumbnail image is available as catalog metadata.
