Themefragments / Mosaic demo

Themefragments can be used as default DX type views or using good old layout attribute. Populating layout menu would require dirty global utility override I did not want to do.

This ugly hack right?

Personally I view both themefragments and ambidexterity as temporary add-ons before we manage to build plone.app.addons as more official and theming independent “instant add on” / “eggless” feature.

Let's start tomorrow! Combine forces and save the planet!

Ambidexterity has nice control panel

So first decision is it in the theme or not. Nice control panel its stored somewhere else. Which means one more install/import/export story

and support for defining validators.

Validators often need settings, similar to tiles. ie "number in range" needs a range. I've implemented a cool macro system in plomino that works that way. Themefragments has a way to create a tile with settings. Generalise that idea. If you had the view with no template, and just the python that returned a value, then you could return true or false. Then you just need a way to register a themefragments view as a validator for certain tile types.
