Okay everything works as it should now....
This patch allows you to store the Zope management interfaces inside the
ZODB. It does this by making the manage stuff inheritable and giving the
defaults to the root of the folder (This means that the management can't
be changed for the root folder - which in my opinion is a good thing.)
To override the manage_page_header, all you need to do is create a DTML
Method (other method types should work as well but haven't been tested)
with the id manage_page_header. This will replace manage_page_header for
ALL object below the folder the method was created in.
This means that you can lock your self out of the management screens
(say by putting <!-- in the manage_page_header). To get around this you
can use the special "SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE" object. This object must be
inserted AFTER the object that has the offending manage stuff but before
the actual manage. For example;
/Folder_with_cust_manage/SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE/manage_main
and
/Folder_with_cust_manage/SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE/Normal_Folder/manage_main
and
/Folder_with_cust_manage/Normal_Folder/SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE/manage_main
would work but
/Folder_with_cust_manage/manage_main/SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE
or
/SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE/Folder_with_cust_manage/manage_main
or
/Folder_with_cust_manage/Normal_Folder/manage_main/SUPPRESS_CUST_MANAGE
wouldn't.
I've tested this patch and are yet to find any problems with it.
This in theory should allow "template" folders to apply templates to any
object below themselves (through the normal standard_html_header/footer)
and to the object's management screens (through the
manage_page_header/footer). Without modification of any of the zope
source.
It allows you to quickly provide a different look for the management
screens on a per site bases (when you are virtual hosting). This could
be invaluable if some company wants to "BADGE" the management screens of
their zope site.
NOTE: This patch doesn't currently let you override 'manage'
Would it be possible for somebody to review this patch for me and tell
me if there are any inherent problems with the way i have done this?
This is an actual patch and is relatively small so i've attached it to
the bottom of this email, hope this is okay....

PS: I can't seem to update the collector Item with this new patch?
