Also study of z3c.formdemo teaches much about the patterns developed in the z3c packages. But I think I can answer your question. 1. Register a layout template to your layer using z3c:layout (see z3c.formdemo/skin for an example) 2. It could contain: <tal:block replace="structure provider:leftcol" /><!--dynamic code --> <tal:block replace="structure provider:pagelet" /><!-- content area --> <tal:block replace="structure provider:rightcol" /><!--dynamic code --> 3. left and right columns are your own viewlet managers registered with browser:viewletManager 4. `pagelet` is special, you can register a view using z3c:pagelet (and a template for it with z3c:template) and the `pagelet` provider will do the rest. This pattern is used in z3c.formdemo. Hope this helps.
