Hey Justas, I'm working on getting cando to work with schooltool.courseinfo for David Welsh, and after figuring out how to install the checkout of schooltool.courseinfo to the test server (various changes to setup.py) and putting the slug in the plugins directory, I get an error on startup of the server with a conflict with the defaultSkin.
You see, in order to override the schoolyear add view in the courseinfo package, I created a coursinfo layer and put it in the courseinfo skin that I then in turn made the defualtSkin. Usually, like in the case of cambodia or niepa, we create a skin in those packages and make them the default. However, cando itself does the same thing, so it can't be possible to make both cando and courseinfo the default skin. I had to solve this problem before for niepa, but the solution was to make the niepa skin inherit from the cando skin. That was possible only because our customer was still in research mode, so making such an assumption of niepa inheriting from cando was not a problem. However, in David Welsh's case, he has a production instance of cando to which he wishes to add the courseinfo package. Cando doesn't know about the courseinfo package, so having it inherit from that would not be possible. Something tells me that this kind of issue will continue to show up until we come up with some kind of general way of having packages register their views against their own layers and somehow dynamically build the skin when all the packages are loaded together. I don't know if that is even possible in theory. Could you please think about this issue for the upcoming meeting. The courseinfo package I'm referring to is found at: lp:~schooltool-developers/schooltool/schooltool.courseinfo You can see the layer and view that I register against as well as the defaultSkin directive it in the browser/configure.zcml file.
