Hi gang,

If you have a PTK instance already running, in order to use the latest
checkout you'll need to do the following.  This doesn't apply if you
just create a new portal instance:

- In the portal_skins folder, add a DirectoryView that points to
PTKDemo/skins/content and call it "content".

- In the portal_skins properties tab, include the "content" layer in all
skins (preferrably between "generic" and "custom".)

- In the portal_types folder, remove all of the default types (Document,
News Item, File, Image, Link, Favorite, and Folder).  Re-create each one
by adding a "Factory-based type information" object and selecting each
type from the drop-down box.  Leave the ID blank.

With these changes, not only are the content types skinnable but so are
the actions.  Note that the type information objects now have an
"Actions" tab where you can select the user-visible actions.

I can't promise it works 100% yet so please report any problems.
