[Zope3-Users] Re: Confused about skinning in Zope3
hello, I'm not sure wether this is the right way to do it, but you can set up the skin with a traverse-subscriber: def myAppTraverseSubscriber(event): """A subscriber to BeforeTraverseEvent. Sets the "AC" skin if the object traversed is a "MyApp" instance. """ if (IMyApp.providedBy(event.object) and IBrowserRequest.providedBy(event.request)): applySkin(event.request, AC) and then in the configure.zcml with this subscriber you don't have to explicitly set the skin: it will be set "automatically" when you look up a url inside your application. Theoretically you could set up the skin for individual objects like this, but I don't know if it would be practical in real life... setting the skin on an per-application basis is good enough for me though. regards. luis Philippe Clérié wrote: > Hello list, > > As the title says I am somewhat confused by the skinning system in Zope3. > I am following the example in "Web Component" (great book by the way) and > at the time creating another app along the same lines.
