A simple portlet that renders the results of a TAL template.

Project Description

TAL Portlet, aka collective.portlet.tal, is a very simple portlet for Plone 3.  It allows the site admin to write a short chunk of HTML that includes TAL template statements.  This makes it easy to build simple, slightly dynamic portlets through the web. 

Note: if you are trying to build more sophisticated dynamic portlets, you should probably be doing this via filesystem-based development techniques. 

Current Release
TAL Portlet 1.0

Released Sep 09, 2008 — tested with Plone 4, Plone 3

This portlet has come in handy for us on sites we've built, such as on Cleversafe.com. Sometimes you just need a bit more advanced capability in some portlet business logic and this is a nicer way to allow somewhat technical (not afraid of HTML tags) users to edit some portlet code from within the Plone UI and not forcing them to dig into the ZMI and remember portal_* utility names and possibly mess things up.
