Mosaic/tiles support

[thomasmassmann]

Should this package bring some tiles for Mosaic, or should this go into a separate package?

Should there be only a template for the content listing tile? Or do we need/want a separate tile?

One benefit for a separate tile would be to allow individual settings per gallery tile. When using the content listing template approach, settings could only be applied gloablly/per content item.

I would like to see that happening soon.
I would keep it inside the gallery package, no need to create more packages, we have enough already ;).

I was thinking about a content listing tile, to keep it simple and use the functionallity of the content listing tile..

I see your point, but what would be the cost of complexity there?
Do we have to reimplement the content listing, or is it doable by mostly reusing what is there + some config options?

Right now we don't have config option at all, but we proably should add at least some settings to the registry.
I would wait with a control panel, until we have decided if this might be part of Plone core. For that we need to PLIP it and the approval. Than we would proably integrate the settings into existing control panels, if that make sense.

We can have both. A simple template for the content listing tile, and a dedicated tile with more advanced options. This one could extend the content listing tile and provide some settings (and remove the layout selection option)
