Off course ...
We have a customer that have 1 main portal and a number of sub portals
for each project they are running. Right now we are manually making a
copy of a "default" CMF Site for them each time they want a new project.
Instead I wanted to give them the possibility to do this themselves and
therefor I have created a portal_admin page that lists the sites they
have now and a little form they will fill out with info for the new sub
portal they want to create.
But the only way I can find and list these sub portals is through
portal_catalog.
Unless anyone have a better idea? :-)
