Blackout filtering
==================

Introduction
============

Sitemap portal type has an option that filters objects that
should be excluded from a sitemap. This option is accessable
on sitemap edit form and is labeled as "Blackout entries".

In earlier versions of the package (<4.0.1 for plone-4 branch
and <3.0.7 for plone-3 branch) this field allowed to
filter objects only by their ids, and it looked like:

<pre>
  index.html
  index_html
</pre>

As a result, all objects with "index.html" or "index_html" ids 
were excluded from the sitemap.

In the new versions of GoogleSitemaps filtering was refactored
to pluggable architecture. Now filters turned to be named multi
adapters. There are only two default filters: "id" and "path".

Since different filters can be used - new syntax was applied
to the "Blackout entries" field. Every record in the field
should follow the specification:
  
  [<filter name>:]<filter arguments>

* If no <filter name> is specified - "id" filter will be used. 
* If <filter name> is specified - system will look for 
  <filter name>-named  multiadapter to IBlackoutFilter interface. 
  If such multiadapter is not found - filter ill be ignored without
  raising any errors.

The following parts demonstrate how to work with filtering.
Aspects of default filters ("id" and "path") will also be 
considered.

Demonstration environment setup
===============================

First, we have to do some setup. We use 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()

This 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.open('http://nohost/plone/login_form')
    >>> browser.getLink('Log in').click()
    >>> browser.url
    'http://nohost/plone/login_form'
    >>> browser.getControl('Login Name').value = portal_owner
    >>> browser.getControl('Password').value = default_password
    >>> browser.getControl('Log in').click()
    >>> "You are now logged in" in browser.contents
    True
    >>> "Login failed" in browser.contents
    False
    >>> browser.url
    'http://nohost/plone/login_form'


Functionality
=============

First, create some content for demonstration purpose.

In the root of the portal

    >>> self.addDocument(self.portal, "doc1", "Document 1 text")
    >>> self.addDocument(self.portal, "doc2", "Document 2 text")

And in the memeber's folder

    >>> self.addDocument(self.folder, "doc1", "Member Document 1 text")
    >>> self.addDocument(self.folder, "doc2", "Member Document 2 text")

We need to add sitemap for demonstration.

    >>> browser.open(portal_url + "/prefs_gsm_settings")
    >>> browser.getControl('Add Content Sitemap').click()
    
Now we are landed on the newly-created sitemap edit form.
What we are interested in is "Blackout entries" field on the edit 
form, it should be empty by default settings.

    >>> file("/tmp/browser.0.html","wb").write(browser.contents)
    >>> blackout_list = browser.getControl("Blackout entries")
    >>> blackout_list
    <Control name='blackout_list:lines' type='textarea'>
    >>> blackout_list.value == ""
    True
    >>> save_button = browser.getControl("Save")
    >>> save_button
    <SubmitControl name='form...' type='submit'>
    >>> save_button.click()


Clicking on "Save" button will lead us to the sitemap view.

    >>> print browser.contents
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding=...


"sitemap.xml" link should appear on "Settings" page of the
Plone Google Sitemap configlet after "Content Sitemap"
was added.

    >>> browser.open(portal_url + "/prefs_gsm_settings")
    >>> smedit_link = browser.getLink('sitemap.xml')
    >>> smedit_url = smedit_link.url

This link points to the newly-created sitemap.xml edit form.
Let's prepare view link to simplify the following demonstrations.

    >>> smedit_url.endswith("sitemap.xml/edit")
    True
    >>> smview_url = smedit_url[:-5]


No filters
==========

The created sitemap has no filters applied and all documents should appear in it.

    >>> browser.open(smview_url)
    >>> file("/tmp/browser.1.html","wb").write(browser.contents)
    >>> no_filters_content = browser.contents

Check if result page is really a sitemap...

    >>> print browser.contents
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding=...


Create regular expression, which will help us to test which urls pass the filters.

    >>> import re
    >>> reloc = re.compile("<loc>%s([^\<]*)</loc>" % self.portal.absolute_url(), re.S)

Test if all 4 documents and default front-page are in the sitemap without filters.

    >>> no_filters_res = reloc.findall(no_filters_content)
    >>> no_filters_res.sort()
    >>> print "\n".join(no_filters_res)
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc1
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc2
    /doc1
    /doc2
    /front-page


Check "id" filter
=================

Go to the sitemap edit form and add "doc1" and "front-page" lines with "id:" 
prefix to the "Blackout entries" field.

    >>> browser.open(smedit_url)
    >>> filtercontrol = browser.getControl("Blackout entries")
    >>> filtercontrol.value = """
    ...     id:doc1
    ...     id:front-page
    ... """
    >>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
    >>> id_filter_content = browser.contents

"doc1" and "front-page" documents should now be excluded from the
sitemap.

    >>> id_filter_res = reloc.findall(id_filter_content)
    >>> id_filter_res.sort()
    >>> print "\n".join(id_filter_res)
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc2
    /doc2


Check "path" filter
===================

Suppose we want to exclude "front_page" from portal root and "doc2"
document, located in test_user_1_ home folder, but leave "doc2" 
untouched in portal root with all other objects.

    >>> browser.open(smedit_url)
    >>> filtercontrol = browser.getControl("Blackout entries")
    >>> filtercontrol.value = """
    ...    path:/Members/test_user_1_/doc2
    ...    path:/front-page
    ... """
    >>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
    >>> path_filter_content = browser.contents

"/Members/test_user_1_/doc2" and "/front_page" objects should
be excluded from the sitemap.

    >>> path_filter_res = reloc.findall(path_filter_content)
    >>> path_filter_res.sort()
    >>> print "\n".join(path_filter_res)
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc1
    /doc1
    /doc2


Check default filter
====================

Now I have a question: "What filter will be used when no 
filter name prefix is specified (e.g. old-fashion filters)?"

Go to the sitemap edit form and add "doc1" and "front-page"
lines without any filter name prefix to the "Blackout entries" 
field.

    >>> browser.open(portal_url + "/sitemap.xml/edit")
    >>> filtercontrol = browser.getControl("Blackout entries")
    >>> filtercontrol.value = """
    ...     doc1
    ...     front-page
    ... """
    >>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
    >>> default_filter_content = browser.contents

"id" filter must be used as default filter. So, all "doc1" and
"front-page" objects should be excluded from the sitemap.

    >>> default_filter_res = reloc.findall(default_filter_content)
    >>> default_filter_res.sort()
    >>> print "\n".join(default_filter_res)
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc2
    /doc2


Create your own filters
=======================

Suppose we want to create our own blackout filter,  which will
behave like id-filter, but will have some differences. Our fitler 
has the following format:

  (+|-)<filtered id>

- if the 1st sign is "+" then only objects with <filtered id>
  should be left in sitemap after filetering;
- if the 1st sign is "-" then all objects with <filtered id>
  should be excluded from the sitemap (like default id filter).

You need to create new IBlckoutFilter multi-adapter, and register
it with unique name.

    >>> from zope.component import adapts
    >>> from zope.interface import Interface, implements
    >>> from zope.publisher.interfaces.browser import IBrowserRequest
    >>> from quintagroup.plonegooglesitemaps.interfaces import IBlackoutFilter
    >>> class SignedIdFilter(object):
    ...     adapts(Interface, IBrowserRequest)
    ...     implements(IBlackoutFilter)
    ...     def __init__(self, context, request):
    ...         self.context = context
    ...         self.request = request
    ...     def filterOut(self, fdata, fargs):
    ...         sign = fargs[0]
    ...         fid = fargs[1:]
    ...         if sign == "+":
    ...             return [b for b in fdata if b.getId==fid]
    ...         elif sign == "-":
    ...             return [b for b in fdata if b.getId!=fid]
    ...         return fdata


Now register this new filter as named multiadapter ...

    >>> from zope.component import provideAdapter
    >>> provideAdapter(SignedIdFilter, 
    ...                name=u'signedid')

So that's all what needed to add new filter. Now test newly-created
filter.

Check whether white filtering ("+" prefix) works correctly.
Go to the sitemap edit form and add "signedid:+doc1"
to the "Blackout entries" field.

    >>> browser.open(smedit_url)
    >>> filtercontrol = browser.getControl("Blackout entries")
    >>> filtercontrol.value = """
    ...    signedid:+doc1
    ... """
    >>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
    >>> signedid_filter_content = browser.contents

Only objects with "doc1" id should be left in the sitemap.

    >>> signedid_filter_res = reloc.findall(signedid_filter_content)
    >>> signedid_filter_res.sort()
    >>> print "\n".join(signedid_filter_res)
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc1
    /doc1


Finally, check whether black filtering ("-" prefix) works correctly.
Go to the sitemaps edit form and add "signedid:-doc1" to the "Blackout 
entries" field.

    >>> browser.open(smedit_url)
    >>> filtercontrol = browser.getControl("Blackout entries")
    >>> filtercontrol.value = """
    ...     signedid:-doc1
    ... """
    >>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
    >>> signedid_filter_content = browser.contents

All objects, except those having "doc1" id, must be included in
the sitemap.

    >>> signedid_filter_res = reloc.findall(signedid_filter_content)
    >>> signedid_filter_res.sort()
    >>> print "\n".join(signedid_filter_res)
    /Members/test_user_1_/doc2
    /doc2
    /front-page
