Installation

To enable this product in a buildout-based installation:

1. Edit your buildout.cfg and add s17.portlets to the list of eggs to install

   [buildout]
   ...
   eggs =
       s17.portlets
   

2. Starting on 1.0b2 s17.portlets no longer depends on s17.person. If your project depends on such package, you should add the person extra to your buildout.cfg or setup.py:

   [buildout]
   ...
   eggs =
       s17.portlets [person]
   

After updating the configuration you need to run ''bin/buildout'', which will take care of updating your system.

Go to the 'Site Setup' page in a Plone site and click on the 'Add-ons' link.

Check the box next to s17.portlets and click the 'Activate' button.
