A Plone Portlet which displays custom recent types

Overview

A Plone Portlet which does an adapter lookup to fetch the portal type to use in the query for recently changed portlets.

Rationale

This is crratching an itch of a customer, which wants to display only recent “news” on a news page etc. Instead of hard-coding the portal type, we do a adapter lookup.

Usage

Users then can register adapters like:

<adapter
    for="Products.BabpnProducts.browser.search.BabpnSPSearchView"
    provides="inquant.portlet.contextualrecentitems.interfaces.ITypeNameProvider"
    factory=".adapters.SPTypeProvider"
    />

And have the actual adapter look like:

class BizOpTypeProvider(object):
    def __init__(self, context):
        pass
    type = "BusinessOpportunity"
