[Zope-CMF] Alternative base profiles

Thu Feb 7 16:47:44 EST 2008

Dear all,

at a snail's pace I'm approaching an understanding of the CMF!  
Actually, that's not entirely true, but coming from the ZMI world I'm  
still learning quite how much there is to learn!

How do I go about creating a different base as opposed to an extension  
profile? eg. A site which only allows Documents and Images
I've sussed that

   <genericsetup:registerProfile
       name="charlie"
       title="Charlies Site"
       description="Profile for a default CMFSite."
       provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.EXTENSION"
       for="Products.CMFCore.interfaces.ISiteRoot"
       />

needs the provides directive removing and genericsetup XML files need  
creating in the profiles/charlie folder and I can create a site like  
this *but* I'm missing something fairly crucial as I get the following  
error when I try and look at the site:

"You have not created any users in this Zope instance. In order to log  
in and manage this Zope instance, you'll need to add an adminstrative  
user account"

NB. this is only for this site - the Zope Instance is fine as are any  
sites based on CMFDefault. Apart from the Members folder created by  
the setuphandlers.py script I can't see any difference between the two  
sites and there profiles although there obviously is.

Also: does <html metal:use-macro="context/@@standard_macros/page"> in  
a browser view template refer to  
Products.CMFDefault.skin.five_template ? As a bridge between CMF skins  
and browser views?

As always, thanks!

Charlie
