Anatomy of a Portlet¶

The bits that go to make up a portlet renderer (which is the bit of a portlet you'll want to customize).

Customizing a portlet is similar to overriding a viewlet, but rather more straightforward. There is a specific ZCML directive for customization.

Directive in ZCML¶

<plone:portletRenderer />

layer: a marker interface for your particular theme
portlet: the interface of the portlet you wish to customize
template: location of the template you wish to override
class: your custom class (use this if you don't specify a template) for rendering the portlet
