Hey. I'm writing a package to provide a Plone 3.0-compatible UI for
PAS4CAS - a replacement for PloneCASLogin, which has not been
updated. The basics work. I now want to hide the login portlet,
since it is non-functional and confusing with CAS.
I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be installing a product if I knew it
was going to remove a core part of Plone (even if uninstalling the
package puts it back). I think it'd be easier for everyone if this was
just documented and you left the poor portlet alone. :)
OK, OK, I relent. You and Matt have convinced me. I'll just do this manually on
my site and put the instructions in the README so others can do it easily. I'll
leave the portlet definition and all the instances as-is.
You would need to do this work on a branch, by the way. :)
It looks like it would only affect portlets.py, be a few lines of
code, and would preserve back-compat with the current portlets.xml.
Since I *still* have not sent in my paperwork <duck />, can I just
submit a patch?
Sure, but you should get commit access - I'm sure you'll be doing more
of this in the future. :)
I've got the paperwork signed by our legal dept, so I can not only contribute
what I write on my own time, but can contribute what I write at work, on a
per-project-approved-by-legal-dept arrangement. Unfortunately, I hear the
Foundation needs the original, not the PDF that I have of the original, and the
original is locked up deep in the catacombs under the legal dept, guarded by
monsters too horrible to describe (think Wolfram and Hart). I *know* I have to
do this, especially to get Vice in plone core (fingers crossed), but it's just
more fun writing code than doing rhetorical battle with lawyers over slips of
paper. So, I procrastinate. ;)
