To discuss:

Introduce a Homebox Portlet entity as content wrapper above / instead of blocks:

Benefits of portlet entities:

  • Clean seperation between homebox element and content
  • Ability to also wrap and handle other entities than blocks (Even user defined content, e.g. user notes)
  • Fieldable
  • Eventually bundled (User notes, Nodes, Views, Blocks)
  • Able to store parameters for the wrapped entity (e.g. color and other settings)

Properties of a portlet definition:

  • Title (maybe dynamically from the Content)
  • Group (For structuring)
  • Pinned (maybe dynamically)
  • read-only (maybe dynamically based on conditions, e.g. role)
  • content (what will be wrapped? E.g. Block)

Properties of a portlet instance:

  • Position (Parents/Region & Weight)
  • Colors (optional)
  • Content
  • Delete

(Almost already implemented)

Alternatively, extend blocks to provide individual settings, as listed above.
