[Zope-CMF] Hidden Actions?

[Jon Edwards]

To help building composite pages, I want to create (at least) 3 different
"views" of all content-objects that can be called by the code for the
composite -

list_view    (shows the title as a hyperlink to the object)
summary_view (as above, plus the description)
page_view    (similar to the normal view, but without the header and footer)

I could do this with Python I guess (similar to CookedBody), but I want them
to be DTML methods in portal_skins, so that they can be more easily
customised.

So, I thought I'd use the Types Tool, and add them as Actions for each
content-type, with a pointer to the method for that particular type
(document_list_view, image_list_view, and so on). That way I can do
something like -

<dtml-in catalog-search-that-finds-lots-of-different-objects>
   <dtml-var list_view>
</dtml-in>

But, if I add them as Actions, they're going to show up in the actions_box,
which is going to get very cluttered and confusing. So, is there a way to
add Actions, but "hide" them from the actions_box? Or a better way to do
this?

Hope that makes sense?
