Using widgets through "search" macros is no longer maintained. There are also issues with Archetypes.ArchetypeTool.getSearchWidgets().

"Customizig labels" not compatible with Plone 2.5.2

Posted by Marcel at March 19, 2007 - 20:26
Great tutorial and very useful.
The part about overriding the label template doesn't work (anymore) in Plone 2.5.2.

Also defining a css macro might not be best pratice anymore with the advent of the resource registry.

Maybe this tutotrial should be integrated with the AT developers guide?
