[Zope-CMF] Customize skins problem

[David Kennedy]

I'm trying to customize a skin using the procedure below, but the "pop-u=
p=20
list of folders" is empty (it doesn't contain custom option)

My configuration is:
Zope 2.4.0
CMF 1.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Doing a simple customization
Let's do a relatively simple customization. If you're in a site that=20=

doesn't have any news items yet, the default news box on the Portal's=20=

front page says "No news is no news" by default. Let's say we want to=20=

change that to say "There is nothing new under the sun". The first step =

is finding the right thing to customize. Since that news box isn't reall=
y=20
bound to a particular content object, it's safe to assume it's part of=20=

the generic folder. If you look in portal_skins/generic, there are a=20=

couple of DTML Methods with the name news in them. Select news_box and=20=

see what comes up. Instead of the normal DTML Method edit form, you'll=20=

get a grey box with the source code. Above the box is the Customize=20
action form containing a pop-up list of folders available to customize=20=

to. If you haven't added any new folders to the portal_skins tool, the=20=

default (and only) option should be custom. So, with custom selected,=20=

click Customize. Now you should be on a normal DTML Method editing form.=
=20
If you look at the path, you'll notice you're now in=20
portal_skins/custom/news_box. This is where you can safely start to=20
customize your own site, independant of whatever changes occur in the=20=

default stylings of the CMF.
