Thanks for the reply, Martin.  I was talking about Chapter 10: Custom
Content Types.  I tried your suggestion and used the archetypes template
from paster:

paster create -t archetype name.product    (from builout src dir)

Then:

cd ..
bin/buildout -o

and it created much more of what I was looking for.

Thanks again,

Craig

Where are you reading this (as in, which page)? You do not get those
directories automatically from the 'plone' template, they are merely the
ones that we create for the optilux.cinemacontent package.

No, you're meant to create them (well, the ones you need - if you have
no portlets, say, you don't need the portlets directory).

There are richer templates, such as the 'archetype' template that comes
with newer versions of ZopeSkel (and are based on the book's sample
code). You may want to try those (or make your own templates).

Cheers,
