[Zope-CMF] VirtualHostMonster & CMF question

[Gary Poster]

Check out my CMFVirtualHost and my VirtualHostFolder, if you'd like.  One of
its specific goals was to address this kind of problem.

See
http://www.zope.org/Members/poster/CMFVirtualHostTool
which is an extension of (and requires) my
http://www.zope.org/Members/poster/VHF
which itself requires iuveno's
http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/OrderedFolder
which then in turn is a bit buggy visually unless you include their
http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/ZBabel

...if you'd like.
