collective.portletpage
A Plone page that can contain portlets
Project Description
Table of contents
Overview
After installing this product, you will be able to add a "Portlet Page".
This is like a standard Plone Page, but it also has a "Manage portlets" tab, from which you may assign portlets into four slots. The portlets will be shown on the main view of the content.

Use of other content data like title, description and body text can be avoided, making the Portlet Page simply a portlet container.
This product is great for providing to your Plone sites a tool for building the site homepage, or the home for a site subsection.

1.1b2 (2011-08-23)

1.1b1 (2011-05-27)
- changed content_meta_type from Portlet Page to PortletPage that was breaking sorting (see #8161). [keul]

- added portletPageColumn class to every portlet column. [keul]

- changed the "Portlets" action tab to "Manage portlet". [keul]
- changes the i18n:domain of the configure.zcml of the browser module to "plone" (this is not formally right but, again, is needed for really translate views name). [keul]
