Don't customize base_edit. It is a bad idea in most cases. But if you feel inclined to do so then remember to also copy the .metadata file to your skins dir or the Form Controller won't know how to glue the process together.
I did not customize base_edit in place. I tried copying base_edit, renaming the copy, and using that as my edit form. I also tried the code you gave me. Both failed in the same way.
I copied and renamed the .metadata file, hoping that would fix the error. No go. No one had mentioned the .metadata file before. Perhaps there is something else I need to do that no one has mentioned yet?
The problem is that there is no "errors" in context when the processing gets to field.pt. I am guessing "errors" is put there by the validator, which is invoked based on the .metadata file. So, I think I still have a mistake in this area, despite copying and renaming the .metadata file. I have skills with Zope (primarily 3) but this controller page template stuff is new to me. Any hints, even (especially?) the obvious, are appreciated.
I read the relevant bit of the Definitive Guide, but have been unable to find more info on controller page templates. I re-bought Martin's book in e-book form and searched for info on customizing edit forms and came up without enough. I'm doing everything I know to solve this problem, which is urgent for me. Custom edit forms cannot be this unusual! I am pleading for assistance.
