How can we define a structure for an entire site with Zope ? for example i want that all the site's pages have a table with 3 colums. it's kind of a template for the web site !
Using standard_html_header and standard_html_footer in every Document on your site... But that way if i want to change the structure, i have to change on every page. My ideia was to create a template(3 colums) where i add objects (dtml documents). If i want to change the site structure to 2 colums i only change the template !

That is *exactly* what standard_dtml_header and ...footer are for. Together, they *are* your template. You *include* these in every document (using the <dtml-var standard...> tag. They'll show up in your documents at run time. Put the default template into the root folder and all your DTML documents will acquire it. In a sub-folder, you can either do nothing (then the acquired header and footer will be used), or override these with a folder-specicic template. See the Zope book, it explains it pretty well. Jan
