How to add new Display Mode to Mosaic Content Listing Tile

I created a custom view to display items in a Folder or Collection in a grid layout. Now I would like to take that same template and apply it to the Mosaic Content Listing tile in much the same way as Listing View, Summary View, and Tablular View work.

I read through this post from 2021 and figured out how to add a new entry to the Display Mode drop down when adding the Content Listing tile. Unfortunately when I select my entry, I get the following traceback.

I have poked around in the plone.app.standardtiles code and tracked the error to the ContentListingTile.contents() method and in particular the call to getMultiAdapter, but this is where I am stuck.

I suspect I need to register an adaptor or interface so the ContentListing object knows how to reference my grid_view template, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.

Your view is not registered for the contentlisting?

See

how its done. The special is the layer needed.

THANK YOU!

I looked at that file but completely missed that registration of the view template.
