Portlets for Zope get interactive

This screenshot shows a sample of portlets configuration of four workspaces and three portlets already located in the first one.

The first portlet, "Google Search", is an example of how a site developer can obtain a basic one out of a few lines of html.The other two are news feeds that were ensambled from RDFSummary objects and custom code, so that a site administrator just needed to provide a title, an URL and the max number of items per feed, to make available those RSS feeds as portlets. As users, we added the current ones from the already existing pull-down menus at the bottom of each column, and now we are about to add another portlet more complex in features, and place it within in the empty column in the middle.

CMFPortlet's 0.5.2 adds a new link, "INTERACTIVE", at the commands bar (visible when we are in configuration mode). We click it, and immediately after a floating window will appear. (Works in IExplorer and Mozilla only).
