Hi all I recently read Stephan Richter's blog post: http://blogs.lovelysystems.com/srichter/2006/09/20/the-skin-browser-and-lovely-systems-new-development-workflow and "intendent scope of viewlets" thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.zope3.user/4652/focus=4652.
I like the idea behind viewtemplate very much (separation of template and view code), but I've some problems with putting all of this together. Let me summarize: 1. Views and Viewlets belong to the layer 2. Templates belong to the skin 3. ViewletManagers belong to.. ? 4. Lovely's packaging practices says that: - views should be placed and registered in project.browser.layer.<subpackage_for_the_view_impelentations> - templates should be placed and registered in project.browser.skin package - viewletmanagers... ? ViewletManagers may have a class and a template, VMs are called from templates, viewlets are registered for VMs. Shouldn't it be resolved by <template> tag which registers a template with ViewletManager as it is done for Viewlets and Views? One more thing is a layer declaration such as (from Stephan's post): <browser:viewlet name="bloglist" for="myproject.interfaces.IBlog" manager="myproject.browser.interfaces.IContent" view="myproject.browser.blog.BlogPage" class="myproject.browser.blog.BlogList" layer="myproject.browser.IProjectLayer" permission="zope.Public" /> while template is registered for skin: <browser:template template="bloglist.pt" layer="myproject.browser.skin.IProjectSkin" for="myproject.browser.blog.BlogList" /> I'm pretty new to the skinnig concept. What is the purpose of IProjectLayer? Is it that views and viewlets are registered to IProjectLayer which is "project marker" interface, while templates are registered for skins. As a result we have stable project's code base and skins which are just templates. Any discussion on the above topics will be appreciated :) -- Jakub Wisniowski _______________________________________________ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
