Introduction
============
This product adds support for FAQ's in Plone. It defines Archetypes-based
content types "FAQ Item", "FAQ Folder" and "FAQ group". It defines two views
for the "FAQ folder" type. For all content types, you can set a content
object's language using the "Language" field.
Features:
- Two views for a FAQ Folder:
* `index_view` shows links to FAQ Items in the FAQ Folder
* `all_view` shows FAQ Items and their answers on one page
- A viewlet on FAQ Items which displays a link to the contact form.
- The FAQ Folder's views are available also on a Topic, so you can
compose Topics of FAQ Items according to your own criteria and
view them in the same way you would view a FAQ Folder.
- In a CollectionPortlet with id `faq`, links will be opened in an overlay.

Detailed information
====================
This is a full-blown functional test. The emphasis here is on testing what
the user may input and see, and the system is largely tested as a black box.
We use PloneTestCase to set up this test as well, so we have a full Plone site
to play with. We *can* inspect the state of the portal, e.g. using
self.portal and self.folder, but it is often frowned upon since you are not
treating the system as a black box. Also, if you, for example, log in or set
roles using calls like self.setRoles(), these are not reflected in the test
browser, which runs as a separate session.
Being a doctest, we can tell a story here.
First, we must perform some setup. We use the testbrowser that is shipped
with Five, as this provides proper Zope 2 integration. Most of the
documentation, though, is in the underlying zope.testbrower package.
>>> from Products.Five.testbrowser import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
>>> portal_url = self.portal.absolute_url()
The following is useful when writing and debugging testbrowser tests. It lets
us see all error messages in the error_log.
>>> self.portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ()
With that in place, we can go to the portal front page and log in. We will
do this using the default user from PloneTestCase:
>>> from Products.PloneTestCase.setup import portal_owner, default_password
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
We have the login portlet, so let's use that.
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_name').value = portal_owner
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_password').value = default_password
>>> browser.getControl(name='submit').click()
Here, we set the value of the fields on the login form and then simulate a
submit click.
We then test that we are still on the portal front page:
>>> browser.url == portal_url
True
And we ensure that we get the friendly logged-in message:
>>> "You are now logged in" in browser.contents
True
The FaqGroup content type
-------------------------
In this section we are tesing the FaqGroup content type by performing
basic operations like adding, updadating and deleting FaqGroup content
items.
Adding a new FaqGroup content item
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We use the 'Add new' menu to add a new content item.
>>> browser.getLink('Add new').click()
Then we select the type of item we want to add. In this case we select
'FaqGroup' and click the 'Add' button to get to the add form.
>>> browser.getControl('FaqGroup').click()
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.button.Add').click()
>>> 'FaqGroup' in browser.contents
True
Now we fill the form and submit it.
>>> browser.getControl(name='title').value = 'FaqGroup Sample'
>>> browser.getControl('Save').click()
>>> 'Changes saved' in browser.contents
True
And we are done! We added a new 'FaqGroup' content item to the portal.
Updating an existing FaqGroup content item
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's click on the 'edit' tab and update the object attribute values.
>>> browser.getLink('Edit').click()
>>> browser.getControl(name='title').value = 'New FaqGroup Sample'
>>> browser.getControl('Save').click()
We check that the changes were applied.
>>> 'Changes saved' in browser.contents
True
>>> 'New FaqGroup Sample' in browser.contents
True
Removing a/an FaqGroup content item
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we go to the home page, we can see a tab with the 'New FaqGroup
Sample' title in the global navigation tabs.
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
>>> 'New FaqGroup Sample' in browser.contents
True
Now we are going to delete the 'New FaqGroup Sample' object. First we
go to the contents tab and select the 'New FaqGroup Sample' for
deletion.
>>> browser.getLink('Contents').click()
>>> browser.getControl('New FaqGroup Sample').click()
We click on the 'Delete' button.
>>> browser.getControl('Delete').click()
>>> 'Item(s) deleted' in browser.contents
True
So, if we go back to the home page, there is no longer a 'New FaqGroup
Sample' tab.
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
>>> 'New FaqGroup Sample' in browser.contents
False
Adding a new FaqGroup content item as contributor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not only site managers are allowed to add FaqGroup content items, but
also site contributors.
Let's logout and then login as 'contributor', a portal member that has the
contributor role assigned.
>>> browser.getLink('Log out').click()
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_name').value = 'contributor'
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_password').value = default_password
>>> browser.getControl(name='submit').click()
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
We use the 'Add new' menu to add a new content item.
>>> browser.getLink('Add new').click()
We select 'FaqGroup' and click the 'Add' button to get to the add form.
>>> browser.getControl('FaqGroup').click()
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.button.Add').click()
>>> 'FaqGroup' in browser.contents
True
Now we fill the form and submit it.
>>> browser.getControl(name='title').value = 'FaqGroup Sample'
>>> browser.getControl('Save').click()
>>> 'Changes saved' in browser.contents
True
Done! We added a new FaqGroup content item logged in as contributor.
Finally, let's login back as manager.
>>> browser.getLink('Log out').click()
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_name').value = portal_owner
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_password').value = default_password
>>> browser.getControl(name='submit').click()
>>> browser.open(portal_url)
