Hi Quillers,

Can someone from the Quills dev group say if option number 1 is easy to be
done and perhaps even in the 1.5 code-stream ?
The choice i am referring to is the sitewide_planet template.

Subject: Re: [Plone-Users] how to change the default view template for one
object ?
To: Michael Reitsma <mreitsma at gmail.com>

The Plone way to do this is via the "display" menu, which is a very
friendly UI.  This appears for types of content that can potentially
have a few different templates that you set on an object by object
basis.  If you go to the portal_types tool within the ZMI, you can see
a few of the types have an additional field called "Available view
methods".  This appears for types that implement the
ISelectableBrowserDefault interface found in CMFDynamicViewFTI.

You can find plenty of background on that here:
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/richdocument/dynamic-views

Unfortunately for your case, this isn't supported out of the box by
the Weblog type for Quills.  Thus you have two options:

1) If your use case is common enough, you could take your case to
either the Plone blogging or the quills-dev list
2) Subclass the weblog type in your own product and bake this in

Starting with #1 is probably your easiest first step forward.
