Installation instructions:

CMFPortlets 0.5.2 is a development release that you must not install in your current and working CMF. A new provided installer is meant to smoothly install the product in existing instances but it hasn't been tested. So until you get familiar with the implications, you're encouraged to create a new CMF portal within your Zope installation and install CMFPortlets there, before attempting your working instance.

1. Unzip the distribution file into your Products folder.
2. Download OptionChooser.zexp if you want to use the Interactive Layout and host its DynAPI DHTML libraries within your portal. If not, you can use the regular
   source distribution (OptionChooser1.0_DynAPI 2.5.6.src) and store it at another server.
3. Move SamplePortlets.zexp (found within the root of your unzipped folder) and OptionChooser.zexp files to your "import" folder.
4. Create an External Method at the root of the CMF portal with the following parameters:id :
• portlets_install
• title:
• Module Name: CMFPortlets.InstallPortlets
• Function Name: install
  
5. Open your recently created external method and click on 'Test'. After a while you'll see an OK message and the log of all the changes made to your portal.

There's a report about problems at loading the product in Linux, due to it was written and zipped in Windows, and that the workaround is to manually remove the Ctrl-M characters from the __init__.py file.
