As manager trying to edit site content, the
index_html/document_edit_form and folder_edit_form do not appear and
the error below is given.  What could be causing this? The right
portlets have been removed and the main content extends to that
section of the page.

It sounds like you've deleted the portal form controller object from Plone,
or perhaps broken the product.

Cynthia, 

I think I looked at this in class for you and I couldn't figure it out
quickly... 
and it would be hard to guess in an email as well.

I think that what this literally means is that a Page Template 
is having trouble calling portal_form_controller... as opposed to 
a KeyError which would mean that the Page Template was *unable*
to call portal_form_controller.

If I'm wrong hopefully someone else will correct me :-)

HTH, 

Alex

I just copied a portal_form_controller from another portal and it worked.
Thanks!
