Replaces the Plone "Collection" content-type with a "folderish" version.
Until now we have been creating Folders and inside them adding Collections to create news or events listing.
Remember the news/aggregator and events/aggregator that Plone creates adding a new site?
That's exactly what we were doing.
But, setting the Collection as default page, creates other problems, such as creating additional URLs that Google and other search engines crawl.
Although Plone tries to solve that creating canonical URLs, trying to hide the aggregator part from the URL
sometimes search engines find a minimal way to crawl your site.
Using this product, you can create a Collection that holds all the configuration bells and whistles, and also add the content inside it.
This way you can have your news collection, with news items inside it (news/my-newsitem) and the folder can have
a configurable search providing the results of the search.
add collective.folderishcollection to your project's dependencies.

The idea of this product came after having used collective.folderishtypes that adds folderish behavior to News Items, Events and Documents.
