[Zope3-dev] Usability question

[Roger ineichen]

Hello together

Is there a way to register a own box with information
to the Rotterdam skin?

Or do we just have the "tooltip" outside a view?

Of corse we can write our information in a own view, but
this information are lost if you change to the introspection
which is also a view on the same object.

We wrote our own zmi skin. In this skin we are free to 
provide what we whant. But it whould be nice to
support aditional informations from our product
in the Rotterdam skin outside of a page/view.

Perhaps I blame me now, but,
In Plone is a way to register slots and anybody can
fill this slots with own information.

We have done this in our skin in a same style.
1. We add a directive for (slot)_views
2. We call a view in our (zmi)skin on the left side. 
3. This view is collecting registred (slot)_views 
and returns the result in our (zmi)skin.

If we hade this mechanism we could add the tooltip
the same way. And this gives us a option to add 
custom product boxes.
