        collective.fastviewRender viewlets directly anywhere in the templateYou can directly put in viewlet call to any page template code
using a viewlet traverser.collective.fastviewregisters
a view with name@@viewletswhich you can use to traverse
to render any viewlet code:<div id="header">
    <div tal:replace="structure context/@@viewlets/plone.logo" />
</div>Note that you still need to register viewlets against some (any) viewlet manager,
but it can be a dummy one, which is never rendered using syntax:<div tal:replace="structure provider:myarghyetanotherviewletmanagername" />Example of dummy viewlet manager:class MainViewletManager(grok.ViewletManager):
    """ This viewlet manager is responsible for all gomobiletheme.basic viewlet registrations.

    Viewlets are directly referred in main_template.pt by viewlet name,
    thus overriding Plone behavior to go through ViewletManager render step.

# Set viewlet manager default to all following viewlets
grok.viewletmanager(MainViewletManager)Fix Grok 1.0 template inheritanceThis fixes grok 1.0 problem that view and viewlets template are not inheritable between packages.
E.g. if you subclass a view you need to manually copy over the view template also.We hope to get rid of this in the future.See:https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/255005Example:from collective.fastview.utilities import fix_grok_template_inheritance
from gomobiletheme.basic import viewlets as base
from gomobiletheme.basic.viewlets import MainViewletManager
from plonecommunity.app.interfaces import IThemeLayer

# Viewlets are on all content by default.
grok.context(Interface)

# Use templates directory to search for templates.
grok.templatedir("templates")

# Viewlets are active only when gomobiletheme.basic theme layer is activated
grok.layer(IThemeLayer)

class Head(base.Head):
    """
    My inherited viewlet.

but Plone 4 is now out solving the problem itselfAdded special exception type for the cases viewlet is not found by name.
It was bad idea to return NotFound as Zope has special meaning for
this exception (you get 404).0.1Initial release
