topics : topics and partner interests¶
The lino_xl.lib.topics plugin adds the notions of "topics" and
"interests" of a "partner" in a topic.
This is a tested document. The following instructions are used for initialization:
>>> import lino
>>> lino.startup('lino_book.projects.lydia.settings.doctests')
>>> from lino.api.doctest import *
>>> from django.db.models import Q
Overview¶
A topic is something a partner can be interested in. An interest is the fact that a given partner is interested in a given topic.
Users can see a panel "Interests" (InterestsByPartner) in the
detail window of a partner.
They can add a row in that panel to specify that this partner is interested in a topic. They can open the panel in a window to delete interests.
A site manager can configure the list of available topics.
>>> show_menu_path(topics.AllTopics)
Configure --> Topics --> Topics
The detail window of a topic has a panel "Interests"
(InterestsByTopic) which shows the partners for which this
topic is interesting.
A site manager can see a global list of all interests. This might be useful e.g. for exporting the data.
>>> show_menu_path(topics.AllInterests)
Explorer --> Topics --> Interests
Partner¶
The application developer can decide what a "partner" means for the
topics plugin by setting the Plugin.partner_model.
For example in Lino Tera the "partner" who can be interested in a topic is not Partner but Course.
>>> print(dd.plugins.topics.partner_model)
courses.Course

Don't read me¶
Because Topic defines a database field Topic.description the
virtual field lino.core.model.Model.description is hidden:
>>> sorted(rt.models.topics.Topic._meta.private_fields, key=lambda f: str(f))
