Alternative base profiles

Dear all,

at a snail's pace I'm approaching an understanding of the CMF!
Actually, that's not entirely true, but coming from the ZMI world I'm
still learning quite how much there is to learn!

How do I go about creating a different base as opposed to an extension
profile? eg. A site which only allows Documents and Images
I've sussed that

<genericsetup:registerProfile
name="charlie"
title="Charlies Site"
description="Profile for a default CMFSite."
provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.EXTENSION"
for="Products.CMFCore.interfaces.ISiteRoot"
/>

needs the provides directive removing and genericsetup XML files need
creating in the profiles/charlie folder and I can create a site like
this *but* I'm missing something fairly crucial as I get the following
error when I try and look at the site:

"You have not created any users in this Zope instance. In order to log
in and manage this Zope instance, you'll need to add an adminstrative
user account"

NB. this is only for this site - the Zope Instance is fine as are any
sites based on CMFDefault. Apart from the Members folder created by
the setuphandlers.py script I can't see any difference between the two
sites and there profiles although there obviously is.

Also: does <html metal:use-macro="context/@@standard_macros/page"> in
a browser view template refer to
Products.CMFDefault.skin.five_template ? As a bridge between CMF skins
and browser views?

As always, thanks!

aha! able to solve this myself: this is the error message you get if
you have absolutely no skins support. Adding the CMFDefault skins to
the profile or your own solves the problem. I assume I can configure
the a view for the site itself?

A baseline profile is registered as providing a different interface:

provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.BASE"

The best way to get such a beast is to export the "all steps" tarball
from a working site and unpack in in your profiles directory.

I can't discern from here what would cause that.

Per $ZOPE210Products/Five/skin/configure.zcml, sort of: that is the
only registration in effect for that name in Zope2. The view class,
Products.Five.skin.standardmacros.StandardMacros, has a '__getitem__'
which actually looks for the name ('page' in this case) in any one of
three templates: 'five_template', 'widget_macros', and 'form_macros'.

Yes, but I needed to get my hands dirty on this so that I understand
things better.

This was because there was absolutely no index_html defined for the
site! Currently experimenting with using CMFDefault and overwriting
stuff as usual.
