Hello,

I've just commited some management screens for portal_selections in CVS. Now
you will be able to see what are your selection parameters from the ZMI.

In the current implementation of ERP5Defaults, (we also sometimes call them
PortalMethods), you can 'dynamically' override these parameters by setting
properties on the portal (using the ZMI), no need to modify the code for this.
Looking at the code of ERP5Site.py, we can see that to override
getPortalDefaultSectionCategory(), you can set a property named
portal_default_section_category on the site.

Cheers,
