unice.portlet.vimeo 1.0

A Plone portlet that shows a vimeo item.

Introduction

This portlet shows a vimeo item as vimeo in the portlet. It’s LinguaPlone aware, and is initially created to provide a language-dependent address footer.

Compatibility

The product is compatible with Plone 3 and Plone 4.

Installing

Add unice.portlet.vimeo to your buildout and re-run buildout. Install the product in your Plone site using the Plone Control Panel (prefs_install_products_form) or the ZMI’s portal_quickinstaller.

Using

Go to @@manage-portlets. If the product was installed properly, you’ll have the option to add a Vimeo Portlet.

Next, select a vimeo item to display. It can be any type of item. You can select which of the item’s fields you want to display in the portlet’s vimeo area:

• Title (either as a link to the vimeo item or as plain text)

• Description

• Date

• Body text

• Image

When the vimeo item doesn’t have a selected field, it should work without errors, but you’d obviously not see the field in the portlet.

You can set these options separately:

• portlet’s title as shown in @@manage-portlets screen

• portlet header title as rendered on page (use vimeo’s title or select custom)

• hide portlet header altogether

• conditionally show a portlet footer with a link to the vimeo item (link text is configurable)

• disable the portlet border

To do

• tests
