Description

PloneBookmarklets is a simple product that installs a bookmarklets portlet into the root of your Plone site.  Bookmarklets allow a reader to bookmark your content to many different bookmark and news sharing sites like    del.icio.us, digg, etc.

This product was originally written for the Quills blogging product (http://plone.org/products/quills) and has since been rewritten as a stand-alone product in order to make it reusable for other developers that wish to include a bookmarklet suite within their sites.

The more Plone-centric way to accomplish this same task would have been to make these bookmarklets document actions, but since there are so many of them they were moved into a portlet instead.

This product was written using the TagCloud product as a starting point: http://www.plone.org/products/tagcloud

As of version 0.2, I've added a second template that a person can use to render the bookmarklets under their weblog posts.  To use this in your own templates, add the following:

      <div metal:use-macro="here/portal_bookmarklets/macros/bookmarklets"
           tal:on-error="string:">
           The bookmarklets bar
      </div>

Add this snippit wherever you'd like the bookmarklet bar to show up.  Typically it would be added at the bottom of the template if you are interested in it showing up like it would in a blog.  Quills uses a template called 'weblogentry_view.pt' for showing blog entries.  If you wanted to use this in Quills, you would add the above the <tal:trackback /> section of the template.  Other blogging products will vary.

Installation

This product was tested on Plone 2.1.3 and Plone 2.5.

Place PloneBookmarklets in the Products directory of your Zope instance and restart the server.

Go to the 'Site Setup' page in the Plone interface and click on the 'Add/Remove Products' link.

Choose PloneBookmarklets (check its checkbox) and click the 'Install' button.

You may have to empty your browser cache to see the effects of the product installation/uninstallation.

Installation will place the portlet into your right_slots in the root of your Plone site: here/portlet_bookmarklets/macros/portlet

Uninstall -- This can be done from the same management screen.  Uninstallation will remove the portlet from right_slots.
