[Zope-CMF] BackTalk in CMF

[ERIC Lawson - x52010]

Ah, thanks.  I'd been using the "Link" type from the CMF "Add Content"
screen to add the link at the same level as the member folder, but I
wasn't happy with the overhead of an entry page describing and containing
the link (to a BT Book)...that entry page may come in handy later though.

My real hope was to be able to add "BackTalk Book" (also document) as an
option on the "Add Content" screen, and I made some experiments to that
end, by creating a new portal type based on the Folder type already in the
portal's portal_types folder.  The experiments failed in successively more
encouraging ways:  after I added folderAdd.dtml to the "custom" subfolder
of the portal_skins folder, I seemed to be getting somewhere.  

I don't yet grok enough python (and Zope/CMF), however, to be able to
determine whether my failure was due to my having used bad or incomplete
values when I altered the "Folder" portal type to make "BackTalk Book", or
whether the failure was due to limitations inherent in the BackTalk
Product's present incarnation (0.3).

thanks again,
Eric

They who strip not ideas from the marks men use for them,
but confound them with words, must have endless dispute.
