Portletification
Based on Zope3 technologies, via Five, it allows you to tag and handle your own content type, very easily. Out of the box, all the basic Plone content types are taken care of !
About
Portletification allows you to tag items as site-wide portlets. What does that mean ?
With Portletification, you can select items (of a Plone portal) so that they appear as portlets (in the left and/or right columns). This way, you can turn any basic plone item into a portlet : a link, a smart folder...
How does the product work ?
Portletification adds 2 entries in your action dropdown menu. A simple click on the option adds the object to the selected column, with a clean rendering, allowing you to manage static text portlets, image portlets, and this, without adding any kind of intrusive products : no more dedicated content types, no more complex UI. This is a simple product for a simple use.
Portletification is non-intrusive, easy to use and, smart enough to survive a copy or a move of your tagged item.
