============ A simple static HTML portlet for Plone 3.
plone.portlets provides a generic infrastructure for managing portlets. Portlets are a bit like viewlets, except they can be manipulated at runtime, using local components. This package is used by plone.app.portlets to provide Plone-specific portlets, but should be generic enough to work on other platforms. It should work in a "pure Zope 3" environment.
This package provides a queriable sources (vocabularies) that return PAS users, groups or principals (both users and groups). They are registered as named vocabularies, so you can do: class IMyInterface(Interface): users = schema.Choice(title=u"Users", vocabulary="plone.principalsource.Users") groups = schema.Choice(title=u"Groups", vocabulary="plone.principalsource.Groups") principals = schema.Choice(title=u"Principals", vocabulary="plone.principalsource.Principals") The underlying source (see source.py) implements the IQuerySource interface from z3c.formwidget.query. This means that it can be used for a query-select widget, including the one in plone.formwidget.autocomplete. A note about unicode The source attempts to make it safe to do a __contains__ check, a getTerm() lookup, and searches using unicode strings. This is somewhat constrained by the underlying plugins. In particular, the standard ZODBGroups plugin is incapable of searching for groups with unicode titles or ids, and returns a list of all groups if passed a unicode string. As such, the source forces all unicode strings used to search for groups to UTF-8 (searching for users is unaffected). Also, remember that tokens should be 7-bit ASCII strings. getTermByToken() is forgiving in that it silently encodes a unicode string to utf-8, but really you should only pass unicode to this method.
This package contains utilities that can help to protect parts of Plone or applications build on top of the Plone framework. protect decorator ================= The most common way to use plone.protect is through the 'protect' decorator. This decorator takes a list of *checkers* as parameters: each checker will check a specific security aspect of the request
