CMF Topic Overview
CMF Topics present a way of defining a *canned catalog query*. They
help organize a site into dynamically executed searches according to
a set of static criteria defined by the person who created or
configured the Topic.
Visitors to a particular Topic will see its results, and also links
to any subtopics, which may use their parent topics criteria to
further refine a search. Clicking on any particular result will lead
to the item. Of course, being skinnable, this behavior may be
altered by the site designer as needed.
The configurer (the creator and anyone generally enabled to configure
CMF Topics according to site policy) configures the Topic by adding
criterion and setting the values. The current set of criteria
include simple String, Integer, and List, as well as some Date
criterion. Subtopics may be nested for cumulative refinement.
