A Plone product that enables you to add portlets to the central column in a page
Project description
Overview
This product enables you to put portlets in places other than right and left columns, specifically:
Underneath global nav but above portal-columns so it spans the width of the page
above the main heading (h1) of the page
at the base of the page, above the footer
in the footer well
In each area, you can add up to three columns of portlets.
You should use CSS (in the custom folder in portal_skins, or in your own theme product) to configure how these portlets should appear relative to each other and to the content.
This may allow you to create distinctive layouts for pages, folders etc without having to write new zope page templates
To install the product
See docs/INSTALL.TXT for instructions
To add portlets above the content
Log into your Plone site as a Manager (or someone else with the “Portlets: Manage portlets” permission)
Go to the place in your site where you want portlets. For example: * If you want portlets on your home page only, go to http://yourSiteURL/front-page * If you want portlets on your entire site, go to http://yourSiteURL
Bring up a management page by either (a) Clicking the “add, edit or remove portlets link” [*]; or (b) Adding “/@@manage-portletsabovecontent” to the end of the URL and hitting “return”
You should see a management page entitled “Manage Portlets Above Content” This gives you the option to add portlets in one or more of three columns: A, B and C You can add as many portlets in each column as you like Other commands (reordering, hiding, blocking portlets) are the same as for the right and left columns
To add portlets below the content
Follow the above instructions, but instead of clicking the “add, edit or remove portlets above content” link or adding /@@manage-portletsabovecontent to the URL:
Click the “add, edit or remove portlets below the content” link; or
Add /@@manage-portletsbelowcontent to the end of the URL
Technical details
The product adds two new viewlets; within each of these are three portlet managers (specified in portlets.xml) For details of exactly which viewlet managers these viewlets slot into:
see configure.zcml in Products/ContentWellPortlets/browser
or install the product, go to your Plone site and add /@@manage-viewlets to the URL

4.0 (2011-08-18)
Portlet managers’ css identifiers are now of the format ‘AbovePortletManager1’ instead of the previously used ‘portletsAboveContentA’ [esteele]
Use Plone 4’s deco.gs to handle layout automatically. Portlet managers will now display as 1/[number of portlet managers with visible portlets] wide. For example, if three of the six portlet managers have visible portlets, each will fill 1/3 of the available area. Themes based on plonetheme.sunburst will see the changes. Others will either need to use sunburst’s columns.css or manually align content using each portlet manager’s unique id. [esteele]
Depend on ‘Products.CMFPlone’ instead of ‘Plone’. See http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10877 for more information. [esteele]
