Hi,
I'd like to create an addon that uses portraits that are not stored in
plone.
So far I found out that the portraits are managed by the MembershipTool.
So I guess I have to override the MembershipTool with one that has a custom
getPersonalPortrait() methode.
But I'm not sure how to do that. How do I tell plone to use my
MembershipTool instead of the on in PlonePAS? Especially it should only be
overridden if the addon is actually installed on a site.
Can somebody give me some direction?
This is untested pseudo code, but a patch in your package that is loaded
on startup could work:
from somewhere import MembershipTool
def new_getPersonalPortrait(self, *args, **kwargs):
if my package is installed in this Plone Site:
return external portrait
return self._orig_getPersonalPortrait(*args, **kwargs)
MembershipTool._orig_getPersonalPortrait = getPersonalPortrait
MembershipTool.getPersonalPortrait = new_getPersonalPortrait
In other words, if may be enough to not override the complete
MembershipTool, but just this single method.
