Hi,
I want to force Plone 3 to always show the right column
(portal-column-two), regardless whether there is a portlet
defined or not.
And I want to do that without changing the main template.
I have dug into the portlet manager code and there is a
property defined called "visible" that essentially controls
whether the portlet is shown or not.
I figured I could subclass the corresponding class
("PortletManagerRenderer"), override the visible property and
make Plone use my version of the class. But I am not able to
figure out whether that's possible and how to do it ?
Mmmm... It'd be a lot easier to override main_template. ;)
That was the only approach I could come up with, does anybody know
whether this makes sense or have a better idea ?
In Plone 3.1, you'll probably get the option of installing a portlet
manager that uses a different class than the default. That'd let you do
what you just asked for (via portlets.xml in GS). For now, you'd need to
hack the local component registry.
