TTWType - a product for defining new CMF types via the ZMI

    you can use TTWType to define new CMF portal types via
    the ZMI (without creating a new product). This is different
    to modifying existing portal types as you can also add new
    fields.

    You can either use TTWType or TTWFolder tospecify your portal types.

    This is some sort of prototype implementation to test
    this idea.

    Prerequisites

	- Formulator (tested with 1.3.0)
	- CMF 
	- CMFFormController
	- Plone 2 (might be optional, I only tested it with Plone)

    Installation

        Use the quick installer to register TTWType. If you don't have
	quickinstaller (cmf only people?) install TTWType the old way:

	create an external method inside your portal with the
	following data:

	id -- install_ttwtype

	title -- Install TTW Type

	module name -- TTWType.Install

	function name -- install

	Then click on the Test Tab and the skins aswell as the
	navigation and validation properties for a plone site
	will be installed.

	Ready it's for usage.
   
    Usage

	1. Go to the portal_types inside your Portal.

	2. Add a new "TTW Type information" or "TTW Folder Type information" 
	   from the drop-down box. Please note that at the moment, it is not possible
	   to convert a non-folderish type to a folderish one after a type has been defined.

	3. optionally fill in description and title

	4. click on the "Fields" tab on the top 

	5. you will be presented by a Formulator management screen.
	   Simply add fields and configure them.
	   These will be used in the edit form also. 

	6. now you can add your new type via the normal Plone/CMF interface

	Optionally you can then adjust the ttw_view skin (copy it to
	a new name and change the view action in your type information).
