Greetings,
Hi Jan,
[such questions are better asked on the plone-users list
as this list is only about installation/getting Plone running,
not customizing it]
I want to thank Alan and Raphael for their kind pointers to making
External Methods - I got my folder generation problem solved. Now my
next question is how do I avoid showing a set of folders in the folder
tree. I have one folder which acts as a sort of database of folders and
I would like to avoid having to expand the folder view both in the
navigation portlet and when accessing the parent folder. People should
be able to search for the sub-folders, but not get the complete view
since this takes much to long time - there about 40.000 subfolders…
First, I hope your parent is a 'Large' folder (BTree based).
Second, 'folder_listing', 'folder_contents' etc are so-called
skin methods which can easily be overriden on instance base
by generating a page template or python script of exactly that
name in that very folder in ZMI to do whatever you want
(e.g., display a custom search form).
Due to the way Zope does its look-up these will be found first
- but note that this also affects the folder's children
