When faced with the same problem I just created a paddingPortlet with an empty template and the available property returning always true.
It also has the bonus you can remove it any time;)

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 ?

That was the only approach I could come up with, does anybody know
whether this makes sense or have a better idea ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
