Override the main_template.pt without z3c.jbot


I want to override the original main_template of Plone without using z3c.jbot, only using ZCML directives (browser:page?).

Is there a way to override a default Plone4 template only using ZCML?


Solution

  • ZCML can be used to override views.

    Older Plone templates, like main_template.pt, use portal_skins layering facilities.
