Replace support of "default / current folder skin" in CPSBoxes with CPSPortlets

This is what the 'Main Content Templet' does already by "manually" inserting a define-slot="main" inside the page. All traditional templates (login_form, etc.) use it for displaying content.

Portlets are rendered elements, so creating a Main Content Portlet portlet is not trivial although it is being investigated for the Zope3 version of CPSSkins. Obtaining the content <... fill-slot="main"...> should be enough, but that requires some hacking in Zope Page Templates.

Well, the problem with Main Content Templet is that we still need boxes to manage folder's display for example. What other option exists to get rid of boxes, including for managing folders' display (in fact, I just like to replace Current / Default skin for folders) ?

OK,

folder display will be managed through the Document Portlet in a 'folder contents' mode. (most of the code can be reused from existing CPSDefault macros)

then you'll only need to add a standard 'Main slot' in the center of the page and put a "Document Portlet" in 'folder contents' mode in it (for ex. in workspaces).

the only reason to keep the Main Content Templet will be to display ZPT forms.

or the Navigation Portlet could be extended too. It already has such display modes as 'folder contents' and 'subfolder contents' .
