Extended Portlets
Extended Portlets is an addon for Plone which allows you to manage the visible portlets globally, by type and by level via a "configlet".

Features:
- Registry for portlets (Plone default portlets are added by installer)
- Easy portlet configuration via Plone UI,
- Portlet configuration globally/by type/by level ranges
Requirements:
- Plone >= 2.0.4 (should work with 2.0.x, not tested)
Future:
- Increase performance by implementing cache mechanism (does not perform really bad at the moment)
- Add portlet configuration by object (define rules, not override whole configuration)
- I18N'alize everything
How to use:
- Extract to Products directory.
- Install via Plone Product Installation.
- Go to "Plone Settings", choose "Portlet Management".
- If you have 3rd party products installed, be sure to register their portlets in the overview tab. (In the CVS version, you can use the "Update" button.)
- Use the 3 other tabs to make your configuration (should be self-explanatory)
