Ahhh, that's where that is. Strange how these things can hide from you! This is where you can easily change what appears on the > left and right portlets. Portlets used to be called slots. You can enter > the path to a portlet template and display your own custom portlet. Or customize an existing portlet as described in another post. I think the 'here' symbol triggers a search that includes the 'custom' directory (as well as the acquisition path, containment path, and last season's tv-guide) > ..

I've restored it, but the undo didn't work as expected so I added back the left slot and copied in the portlet data. whew! The delete key at the bottom is evidently for deleting an entire property. To delete one line from a list-of-lines, just delete within the edit box and use the SAVE key on the bottom -- duh! ZMI -> plone site -> properties tab check the left-slot (indicating intention of changing that item) cursor to 'here/portlet_recent/macros/portlet', delete that line with CTRL-X and/or backspace-delete, etc ..THEN click Save Changes on the bottom of the page OK, after fixing it back, I removed the line here/portlet_recent/macros/portlet from left-slots I also put-back full nav-menu from the root for any current page. (I believe everything is still reversible, if needed.) How does that look? Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
