Creating a static-text portlet
The simplest portlet you can make: static, with no special logic.
To create a portlet containing static text, save the following code in a page template called 'portlet_static' in the 'Custom' folder of your 'portal_skins'. Code:
<html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
i18n:domain="plone">
<body>
<!-- The static box -->
<div metal:define-macro="portlet" tal:omit-tag="">
<dl class="portlet" id="portlet-static">
<dt class="portletHeader">Title</dt>
<dd class="portletItemSingle odd">Some content</dd>
<dd class="portletItemSingle even">Some content</dd>
<dd class="portletItemSingle odd lastItem">Last item</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</body>
</html>
