hi everyone !
getting rid of the bogus multiple-inheritance has an impact on the
publication interface. (quote of the relevant discussion below, for your
reference)
basically, i see these options:
1. leave public String[] getTemplateIds() as it is, and return a
one-element String[].
This would have the advantage that we can "upgrade" to multiple
inheritance later on without changing the API. Does anyone see
the necessity to use more than one template?
Not yet, but I could imagine such usecases e.g.
-------------------
| University Home |
-------------------
| |
------------ | ------------
| Faculty A | -----| Faculty B |
------------ ------------
| |
| ----------
| |
------------ ------------
| Institute A | | Institute B |
------------- -------------
This is also mentioned in:
http://lenya.apache.org/docs/1_4/reference/publication-templating/index.html
Or do i misunderstand something?
yes.
the case you described is single inheritance. every publication as
exactly one template. i'm not trying to change that.
however, the syntax
<templates>
<template id="foo"/>
<template id="bar"/>
</template>
implies that publications could inherit from more than one predecessor:
-------------------
| University Home |
-------------------
| |
------------ | ------------
| Faculty A | -----| Faculty B |
------------ ------------
| | 0
| ---------- 00000000000
| | 0
------------ ------------
| Institute A | | Institute B |
------------- -------------
in this case, institute b would inherit both from faculty a and b.
part of the code implies we can do that, but nobody has ever tried it,
and the fallback sources wouldn't know what to do with a situation like
that...
