If you don't want to do any DB interaction, I think you could just edit
controllers/template.py for now and make it render specified templates like
in it's documentation in that file. About common "header/footer". You can
just make a base template where you add ${next.body()} command, and in real
pages, you make <%inherit file="base.html"/>. If you need to make reusable
components, create some file with "widgets" and define <%def>'s there, then
add it as a namespace (<%namespace name="widgets" file="widgets.html"/>) and
then use like ${widgets.defname()}. BTW, default Pylons project still uses
Myghty as a template engine, if you didn't change it already, edit
config/middleware.py, find config.init_app there and add an argument
template_engine='mako'. And read docs, they are nice :-DOn 4/20/07, Heather <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I've been reading through stuff on the pylons site for the past few > days and feel like I'm not really getting anywhere.
