hello stephan,
thanks for taking the time to take a look at it. I guess I don't understand
some of the basic concepts then...
I actually want "viewlet.html" to be available to all objects (not only
IFile), but some of the viewlets should be discriminated based on the
current object.
suppose my "viewlet.html" is called "index.html" and is used as a "main
template" for display of different types of objects.
in the index.html page-template I want to have a section "viewletmanager"
called "about_this"
then I want to have a viewlet "talkback" showing user comments, which is
available for all objects, and I want a second viewlet (registered with the
same "about_this" viewlet manager called "photo_information" which only
works for objects implementing "IPhoto"
if I visist my_music_file.mp3/index.html I want to see the user comments to
my new song on the bottom of the page, and if I visit
my_photo.jpg/index.html I want to to see a box with info such as
shutter-speed, apperture, etc, and a box with the user comments...
do I really need two different "index.html"s ? even if the rest of the page
should be the same ( display a link for download in the upper part, title,
and description on the right, etc )
regards. luis
