[Zope-dev] Plugins as Dataskins
Hi, Can use Plugins as Dataskins? If so, do I need to put them inside a Customizer? And how does customizes play with Specialists, or should they even do that in the first place?

There's some experimental support for having Dataskins as plug-ins. However, I can't think of why I'd need to do that. PlugIns and DataSkins are there for different purposes. They solve different problems. If so, do I need to put them inside a Customizer? I can't really answer that. And how does customizes play with Specialists, Generally, you create "glue" using SkinScript in both the Customizers and Specialists. or should they even do that in the first place? That's up to you. The best way to develop with ZPatterns is first to think clearly about the problem domain you want to work in. The classes from ZPatterns, such as Specialists, DataSkins and Folders with Customizer Support, can help you design and implement your application, leaving many of the important decisions about methods of collaboration, and about storage of attributes, until later. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

They solve different problems. Yes, what much I know. I find Plugins really useful for dynamically assigning content and behavior to objects at run-time. What I want to do is to make plugins created inside regular ZODB objects, delegate there storage to ZPatterns. As I see it might be possible to have both ZODB-based plugins (subclassed from PlugIn) or virtual plugin objects (subclassed from PlugInBase) getting attributes and/or properties from a Customizer. So is it worth a shot?
