I’m trying to override a view provided by a CMF skin layer with a <browser:page ... having the same name= attribute. Is this possible in Plone, or can browser views only override other browser views?

    (This is a bit late, but what the hell)

    CMF Skin layers override browser views. That is why you have to put @@ in front of a browserview’s name in an URL, i.e to disambiguate it and make sure that the browserview is called instead of the CMF skin layer template.

    So in short, if you put @@ in front, the browserview will override, otherwise not.

    i.e:

    localhost:8080/Plone/@@myview

    overrides:

    localhost:8080/Plone/myview

    To overcome this, override the template in your CMF skin layer and tal:define the View variable to point to your @@myview. You can then still access the BrowserViews methods from the CMF skin layer template.
