cs.editablefooter 1.0

Overview

We’ve always wanted to edit the footer of Plone providing our customers’ contact info.

We’ve always customized both portal_footer.pt and portal_colophon.pt in our Plone 2.5.x sites, but now we can hide them easily hiding plone.footer and plone.colophon viewlets through @@manage-viewlets or setting a viewlets.xml in an extension profile, thanks to new viewlet infrastructure in Plone3.

This product adds a new viewlet called cs.editablefooter and it’s added automatically to plone.portalfooter portlet manager

It also creates a new control panel in which you can edit the content of the viewlet using a Kupu-based WYSIWYG editor.

Dependencies

To use the WYSIWYG editor, you must use plone.app.form’s plip200-kupu-widget svn branch. This branch will be merged into plone.app.form for Plone 3.1.

If you don’t want to use this svn code, the control panel will default to a common textarea.
