Hi,
I’m starting to announce on this list the release of some new plugins.
Hope it helps,

Plugin franch name : Composition
French documentation : http://www.spip-contrib.net/Compositions
source link : http://files.spip.org/spip-zone/compositions.zip
Introduction :
This plugin allows you to define several variants of compositions for each type of object.
It also provides an interface on each object, which allows you to select the active composition.
Purpose : providing a mechanism and an interface for varying the type of composition of each object as needed.
For example, you may need to compose some articles in a newspaper format and some others such as photo albums.
Or you may want to compose some sections as blogs, and others more traditionally …
To vary the composition of the objects of the same type, SPIP has natively some solutions available to webmasters:
- skeletons suffixed with the number of section (section-23.html) can often get away, but have major defects: maintenance squelettes held on this quickly becomes very heavy, and no interface does change the composition an object among those existing when it was set by the webmaster with a particular skeleton.
- Technical keywords are sometimes used in the skeletons to indirectly choose the type of composition. It works well. However, the interface is poorly suited for this purpose, and if the site also uses keywords with other meanings, administrators are quickly lost.
The plugin provides a new feature to SPIP.
