Hi Maurits,
Let me think out loud here.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<portlet-assignments>
<portlet
type="contenttype"
name="portlets.rss"
condition="Folder"
I don't like the name "condition", but something like it may work.
You'd also need to specify which portlet manager (e.g. plone.leftcolumn)
this was in.
However, you're missing something here: plone.portlet.RSS (the name of
the RSS portlet) takes config parameters. These parameters are specified
in the schema interface for its assignment type (e.g. IRSSPortlet). If
you have the name, you can get the interface I think, from the
IPortletType, so that helps.
We'd need a way to set and extract these, and also make sure that
portlet assignment objects could be instantiated by the handler. This
could be done with some introspection I guess.
It may be possible to cleverly use the add view code, which already
knows how to instantiate a portlet from a dict of parameters, now that I
think of it. The IPortletType (local) utility that is used by the
portlet management UI holds the add view name.

<portlet
type="context"
name="portlets.Login"
condition="/front-page"
/>
<portlet
type="group"
name="portlets.Events"
condition="Party People"
/>
</portlet-assignments>
This could go in portlets.xml or a new file.
I vote for portlets.xml.
Has anyone given thought
to this? Is it an option to add content type portlets to the xml file
of that content type? (I guess not.)
"structure" isn't exported by default either.
The first portlet assignment adds an rss portlet to the content type
Folder. That could be a portal_type or maybe an interface: whatever
is done by the current types configlet I would say. The name of the
portlet is as it is called in
e.g. plone/app/portlets/portlets/configure.zcml
The second portlet assignment adds a login portlet by context to the
front-page. The condition would be the path from the portal root.
The third portlet assignment adds an events portlet to the group with
the name "Party People". BTW, I have not yet done anything with this
type of portlet.
Does this make sense?
Largely, yes, but see above.
Martin
