[Setup] Re: limit content of events portlet

[Raik Gruenberg]

Thanks for your fast response!

I am (yet) pretty clueless when it comes to modifying plone components and 
templates. I couldn't even find the portlets in the ZMI.
Could you please give me a starting point from where to modify the templates 
graphically or through Python?

Thanks a lot,
Raik
