Hi Everyone,

        I am new to creating content types and themes in Plone3.

        I am currently exploring archGenXML and ArgoUML to create some simple
content types. My question now is what is the correct procedure to
apply a custom views to these content types.

Nowhere in the code generate by archGenXML is a page template file
created, nor a browser/ directory, so I am just wondering where, what
and how is the preferred procedure for creating a custom view of a
content type the has been produced by archGenXML.

        I.e were do you create a template and how to you associate it with
the content type.


Please be as specific as possible, although I have the more recent
plone3 books, Theming, Practical Plone and Professional Plone
Development, which I realize cover many of these topics I am still a
little confused by the number of various ways this seems to be possible.


Many thanks
Steve

Steve,

I think the standard procedure involves grabbing the Archtypes base_view
template, overriding the desired macros and putting it into your
product's skin directory with the name "<product name>_view".

There's a nice little tutorial titled "Customizing AT View Templates" on
the Plone site. Google will point to to it.
