[Zope] How to edit manage_page_footer?

[Phil Harris]

I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this, but:

Make a monkey-patch of it.

That way you won't need to re-install the changes whenever you upgrade zope
(until they change to Page Templates anyway).

Here's how to do it:

1.    Create a directory in <zopedir>/lib/python/Products, call it
new_manage_page_footer
2.    In this folder create a file called __init__.py with these contents:

        <code>
        from App.Management import Navigation
        from Globals import DTMLFile

        manage_page_footer=DTMLFile('manage_page_footer', globals())

        Navigation.manage_page_footer=manage_page_footer
        </code>

3.    Also in this folder create a file called manage_page_footer.dtml, with
these contents:

        <!-- start dtml code -->
        <p>This is a message to prove that I've changed</p>
        </body>
        </html>
        <!-- end dtml code -->

4.    restart zope

That's it, you can make whatever changes you need to the
manage_page_footer.dtml file, including some dtml stuff if you need it.
