[Zope-CMF] folder content (big post)

[Tim Hoffman]

Hmm

Unless I am misunderstanding things wouldn't skinnable folders actually 
achieve what
you want more easily.

in portal types select add Factory Type information"

select skinnable folder.

In actions view option change the view method to whatever you name your 
new view method.

This means calls to index_html will call your view method.

Any other ways still means that if you call index_html  or foilder_name/
you will get the index_html method, because with the way you have 
described below you will always
have to explicitly call the folder_name/view method.
