[Zope-dev] Can ZPatterns Plugins be used separately?

2000-09-18 Thread Kevin Howe

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to use ZPattern Plugins in a
non-ZPatterns Product? Allowance for Plugins would be a very useful feature
in many applications.

You can use PlugIns without using the rest of ZPatterns, such as 
DataSkins and Racks. You still have to have the ZPatterns product 
installed, obviously. I can see this becoming even more useful when 
ZClasses work with PlugIns. This may be a while off, though.

I'm still in favour of splitting ZPatterns into separate DataSkins and 
PlugIns packages in the next feature release.

Splitting into DataSkins and Plugins sounds like a really sensible idea, I
defintely put my vote in for that.
