[Zope-CMF] Placeful default skin?

[marc lindahl]

Having a different look in certain folders could be done within the same
'skin' - if you think of a skin as the overall look of the site, it makes
sense.  So then, look at what you need to change.  the default_stylesheet,
perhaps, associated properties, standard header.... so you could just name
them, for example, news_stylesheet, and also something like
'standard_news_header', both in your skin folder.  Then in the News folder,
put a dtml method called standard_dtml_header, that just has <dtml-return
standard_news_header> in it.  This way, it overrides the normal header, and
you have your modified header in the skins folder, which means it's easy to
make yet a newer skin and change the look of the news part.  Same goes with
whatever other things you want to modify.

Anyway, that would be my approach (or I should say, that IS my approach on
