Hi Raphael,
in a "site product" I'm doing I would like to set the
portlet configuration from an extension profile but
I get the impression that that's currently (Plone 3.0.1)
not supported - or am I missing something?
It's not - and it should be. We just never had time to do it. The
hardest part for me was to come up with a sensible syntax that is able
to deal with contextual/location-specific portlets, deciding how to deal
with loading portlets of arbitrary types with arbitrary properties (a
portlet assignment is just a persistent class), and deciding how to
export contextual/location-specific portlets efficiently.
Ideas?
And just to clarify: I'm not talking about what portlet
managers to provide neither about what types of portlets
to make available in general but rather things like:
- changing the configuration of the navigation portlet
(e.g., such that it gets displayed even at portal root)
- reordering the default templates
- adding a 'classic' portlet (e.g., at top right) pointing
to a custom macro defined the old way
In the old days this was easily available via the properties
(root/site/navigation) and their GS support but how do I do
this now?
True. That said, properties at non-root were not really supported,
AFAIK? Or was the 'structure' handler able to deal with this as well?
Doing this TTP is all nice and handy but how do I safe that
in a profile? Is somebody already working on that?
I'd like to work on this, but I'd like some help. Lately, I've been
stretched pretty thin.
