Since the subject was brought up a couple days ago, I've been working
on implemeting Portable Areas in Monrail. I think I've got a fully
function example ready. I'll have it up in CastleContrib soon, but
first I want to make sure that it does everything it's supposed to.
- The example is a controller handling three pages, a layout, an image
and a css file.
- The example is a single assembly, with all views, and other files as
embedded resources.
- That assembly can be integrated into a existing MR website (I used
the CastleContrib ViewComponent TestSite), by just dropped the single
assembly into the bin folder, and added a line to the web.config.
-The layouts & views are read from the resources automatically. From
the application POV, it's just like if there were individual files
there.
- The embedded views can be local overridden, just by create an
appropriate view template.
- Embedded file can be referenced by just {siteRoot}/{Controller}/
{filename}.rails,
e.g. Displaying yourPic.png is just "http://example.com/MyWidget/
yourPic.png.rails"
Any feature that this is supposed to have that's missing?
Here's the entire controller code for my example:
[Layout("default","patest")]
public class PATest : PortableAreaController
{
public void Page1()
{ }
public void Page2()
{ }
public void Page3()
{ }
}
PortableAreaController base class handles all the magic. Of the
layouts, "patest" is embedded, and "default" refers to the one in the
hosting website.
