Re: Adding images to folder summary view in Plone 3.1

[vedaw]

Hello,

You could use a collection as the default page for that folder, and modify
the collection view to show the various bits of information. That's how I
normally do it.

The collection is part of core plone, but a modified view will likely not be
included. However, there is work being done where you can add snippets of
information to your site that might address this need; that work is still
very raw.

Cheers,

- Veda

That's how nice and easy things were in the good old days of building sites with vanilla Zope 2. Sometimes I think we lost something important at some stage...

That is the goal of Deliverance + the 4.0 "blocks" structure. We're getting
there. :)
