main_template now uses Zope 3 viewlets

by Plone Documentation Team — last modified Dec 30, 2008 03:07 PM

Plone 3 has switched to use Zope 3 viewlet components instead of the old macro include approach. Any customizations of main_template.pt or header.pt will need to be updated to use the new approach.

If have previously shipped customized versions of templates like header.pt, viewThreadsAtBottom.pt or global_contentmenu.pt to get things into the page, please switch to viewlets instead, as it makes it much easier for multiple products to co-exist without stepping on each others changes.

Documentation and examples can be found in "this tutorial":http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/customizing-main-template-viewlets.

« Previous: 6.5.2.7. Portlets have a new infrastructure Next: 6.5.2.9. Plone 3 does not create member folders by default »
