Introduction

The collectionmultiview portlet is a collection portlet which supports multiple view modes. It inherits the built-in plone.portlet.collection and extend it with view adapters support.

Writing additional views

Creating an additional view is as simple as writing a class which inherits from CollectionMultiViewBaseRenderer, and register it as a named adapter

Sample code:

from collective.portlet.collectionmultiview.renderers.base import (
                                    CollectionMultiViewBaseRenderer)
from zope.app.pagetemplate.viewpagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile

class MyCustomRenderer(CollectionMultiViewBaseRenderer):
    __name__ = 'My Custom Renderer'
    template = ViewPageTemplateFile('path/to/template.pt')

ZCML:

<configure
   xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">

   <adapter name="mycustomrenderer"
       factory=".package.MyCustomRenderer"/>

</configure>
