I've been playing with Jifty a bit and I wanted to use the Halos on
the tutorial app so that I can play with them a bit.
The problem is that following the directions in
Jifty::Manual::Tutorial you do not get the show halos and page info
links at the bottom of the page. they show up on the admin page but
not in any app (including the demo apps in the examples directory)
that uses a View class to define the templates instead of mason. is
there a way to get those halo links added with a Jifty::View::Declare
template? It looks like the Halo plugin is still putting code in to
support halos but nothing is drawing the links needed to make them
show up and I don't have a clue about what I need to put in my View
class to make that happen.
I'm also wondering if i can have someone modify the look of my
templates without modifying the code in the View class. do I have to
stick with mason for that kind of thing? I only ask because I flat out
suck at making web pages and want to use jifty
to define how everything works and let someone else make it look pretty.
So I've been scouring the mailing list archives and I ran across this
post which seems to work if I add it to my view class but I'm not sure
that this is the correct way to do things. Has someone done a good
tutorial on the Template::Declare stuff and how you would make it work
with mason templates?
from http://lists.jifty.org/pipermail/jifty-devel/2007-August/001635.html
I used __PACKAGE__->use_mason_wrapper(); inside each template
declaration in the View class.
This gives me the links for activating the halo stuff and seems to work.
I would really like to understand how the different template systems tie
together and the best way to use them in a way that allows me to work
with someone else thats focused on the look of the site.
I saw in some of the presentations people have done on Jifty that the
halos could show which SQL statements were run but
I'm not seeing that behavior on my end.
