Hi!
This is currently done using a Custom Portlet under CPSPortlets, but
this won't work in Plone. I'm going to take a look at the tutorial code
and update it. It is apparently out of sync with CPSSkins 2.3.3, but the
changes are quite small.
You can in the meantime look at the code of for instance the TextBox
Templet, and create a new Templet but instead of having:
render_method = 'cpsskins_textbox'
you could write
render_method = 'my_zpt'
and my_zpt will be rendered
or add a render() method in your class:
security.declarePublic('render')
def render(self, **kw):
return self.my_zpt()
