Quanta Content Type Chooser

[tisto]

Quanta introduces a nice content type chooser that especially comes handy when your site has lots of different content types. It highlights the most important content types:

Of course there are a few decisions that we have to make before we can move on.

• do we ship with Folder?
• what are the two most important content types? Page and XXX?
• are those two most important content types supposed to be configurable (e.g. via config.json or maybe even via control panel)?
• is the number of highlighted content types supposed to be configurable?

Castle had this better than this very Plone way of doing things. Plone has always assumed

• you always want to add one thing at a time
• you always want to edit something directly after you add
• you always are in the place where you want to create the content when you click "add"
• you don't want to upload instead of edit

Instead castle let you create the content as many times as you need, lets you name it, all before you edit it, or you can upload the content (without having to learn to find the hidden upload control in "contents")

This also solves the problem caused by plones insistence on allowing editing before the object is created (plone/volto#769)

The castle version is ugly but the idea is sound.
