Hi

I am kind of missing documentation on CMF for beginners: I added "CMF Site" from my product list, and now? What should I do to change the look of my skins? To add menus? etc.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ragards, Marc

aren't we all;p I found this doc useful: http://cmf.zope.org/doc/devel/writing_skins/view http://cmf.zope.org/search?SearchableText=skin basicallly you have to go into the portal_skins tool, into generic, content and control and copy over the methods you want to change. you go into the edit view (its actually the customize view) of the method you want to customize and click the customize button. this copies it over to the folder you tell it to (probably custom) and then you can edit it. hth kind regards, george donnelly george@zettai.net http://zettai.net/ zettai: collaborative web tools for NGO's
