Customizing Plone portlet

[George L]

Hi,

With the new plone.portlets infrastructure, how do I go about customizing an existing plone.portlets portlet such as the calendar portlet? ... and in a site-specific or theme-specific way.

Looking at plone.app.portlets, metaconfigure.py and metadirectives.py, it seems like I can do this by having  the following ZCML:

    <plone:renderer
      portlet="plone.app.portlets.portlets.calendar.ICalendarPortlet"
      class=".calendar.CustomRenderer"
      layer=".interfaces.IThemeSpecific"
    />

Is this correct?

A related question -- when defining metadirectives, how does Zope know to assign the value for "class" and "for" to the variables "class_" and "for_"?

Peace,
George

Or rather, "plone:portletRenderer"

Yep, that's how you do it.

Make sure you've got plone.app.portlets parsed first, though, so do e.g.:

<include package="plone.app.portlets" />

<plone:portletRenderer ... />
