Smart Link
==========

An enhanced version of the base Plone link content type.

After intalling this you'll see that the Plone link will have a new **image field** and **caption**
like the News Item content type.

As News Item do, the Link now behave **image resize** feature.

Also the new Link type can handle internal (to Plone contents) and external links. You can use the
internal link field to automatically attach the link value to an internal content of the portal
(in a similar way used for related contents).

An event-based system will also keep URLs updated even when you move/rename target document.

Warning!
--------

Smart Link shapechange itself and hide from portal_types tool the basic Plone Link type!

FileSystemStorage
-----------------

The product try to register the link image field onto `iw.fss`__ if it's installed.

Part of the code of Smart Link was taken from the `ComboLink`__ Plone (and Plonegov) product.
This project was giving the same internal link feature in old 2.1/2.5 Plone releases.

TODO
----
 

* Fix this ugly error: *WARNING SecurityInfo Conflicting security declarations for setId*
* Add more control on content icon. For remote site can be pretty the remote site favicon
* An anchor field. It seems useless for external resources, but can be usefull for internal link
  to Plone contents with anchors inside
* A better clean-uninstall that really remove all stuff (like marker interfaces applyed)
