I am interested in reading more about adding static/unmanaged html content to plone instance using File System Directory Views or the plone skins tool. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some reading? I seem to be looking in the wrong places.
It is very simple: * You use the CMF and its "SkinsTool" (--> "portal_skins"). If you do not like the complete CMF setup, you can use my "SkinnedFolder" <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope> * You register one (or more) folder as top level directory views: from Products.CMFCore.DirectoryView import registerDirectory # make "skins" folder in current product available as FSDV registerDirectory('skins', globals()) * You create a "Filesystem Directory View" in your skins tool (--> add list --> "Filesystem Directory View") * You put your files in the corresponding folder in the file system. * You may need to register the extensions of your files such that "Filesystem Directory View" knows how to map the files to Zope objects: from Products.CMFCore.DirectoryView import registerFileExtension from Products.CMFCore.FSFile import FSFile ... registerFileExtension('html', FSFile) That's it. -- Dieter
