collective.viewlet.links 0.1rc1

Overview

This package provides a viewlet that lets you enter in a list of local and external links on plonesite level and on subfolders. Usually these links get displayed in the footer, but the viewlet can be placed anywhere.

After installation the viewlet displays a Manage links button for users with the corresponding permission (granted to managers by default). Users can set the links for a context that implements ICanDefineLinks (plonesite or folders by default) by inserting them in a textfield like this:

Plone;http://plone.org
Zope;http://zope.org
Internal;/relative/to/plone-site

Links defined on the portal get displayed in subfolders too, as long as they do not define their own links.

See the package README for a test describing this package’s functionality in detail.
