Hi,

If you have created the product with zopeskel.dexterity[1] you should have a
myclass_templates folder where to put your templates. The template should
match the view's name so:

class TwoColumnsView(grok.View):
    grok.context(IMyClass)
    grok.require('zope2.View')

Would have a template called twocolumnsview.pt on myclass_templates/ folder.

If you want to place them somewhere else just do:

grok.templatedir('my_other_templates')

class TwoColumnsView(grok.View):
    grok.context(IMyClass)
    grok.require('zope2.View')
    grok.template("my_shiny_template")

So that view will look up a template on my_other_templates/
my_shiny_template.pt

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
