Weekly wiki #4—Theming

Want to change Plone's look? The WebLion Weekly Wiki is back from winter vacation with a theme theme:

Create A Plone 3 Theme Product

The result of weeks of hard work by our Documentation Group, this is a one-stop, step-by-step walkthrough of making a theme product. Change styling, mess with logos, move chunks of the page around—it's all covered. And when you're done, it even uninstalls. *wink*

Where Is What In Plone 3?

base.css, columns.css, authoring.css, public.css—what the heck's in all these? Where do you go to make your edits? Rob Porter's whizzy guide breaks down a Plone page and tells you where everything comes from.

Create Your Own Custom Navigation Portlet

In Plone 3, you can bend the Navigation portlet to your will right through the web, but there are still limits. If you need more power, check out this page on using CustomNav to do things like...

• Display navigation from one part of your site in another part
• Change which content types appear in the nav portlet in just part of your site
• Build a nav portlet from an arbitrary catalog query

Plus, if you still have Plone 2.5 sites lying around, CustomNav works great there, too.

As always, the WebLion wiki is freely editable in a vain attempt to stay current and accurate. Please BeBold and make improvements!
