Re: [Zope3-Users] Still a skinning problem
I'm not sure if you're familiar with viewlets, but that might be a solution for you here also. On Feb 6, 2007, at 8:05 PM, Florian Lindner wrote: Am Dienstag, 6.

There is no HTML Code produced since the view fails with an error. The template is the same that is used at http://xgm.de I have two packages: - IXGM is the one you can see at xgm.de at this moment. It provides a template.pt, the contact site, CSS ressources, ... It is also a container. IT also defines a IXGMSKin - IBlog is a new package. It should not know of IXGM and should also be used independently. In my case it is contained in IXGM. Of course it should adapt the look and feel of IXGM when called with the ++skin++xgm traverser set and then it should be rendered with template.pt (what it actually does). And that causes the problem: The line in the template.pt: home works fine as long as context is an IXGM, because index.html is registered for IXGM. But if a view from the IBlog is called is it also rendered in the template.pt but context now is a IBlog which does not have an index.html (or at leat not the one I want) and therefore fails. I have uploaded both packages at http://xgm.de/staticfiles/skinning-problem.zip.

Re: [Zope3-Users] Still a skinning problem
I will wager to help...since frequently my posts go unanswered also. I've implemented a few skins with great success. However, if you wait long enough you could a real response from someone like Stephen instead of myself. is registered on the default layer. Since the xgm layer derives from the default layer it correctly uses my template.pt. But the problem is now when a view from the Blog object are called links in the template like home do not work anymore, since context is the Blog and not a IXGM object anymore. Therefore the lookup fails. I do not understand this particular point clearly and this seems to be an important point. Could you provide more specifics? Sounds like you have a blog package installed. The blog package has objects that you can create (presumably blogs and blog entries). The objects have various views, which have links that are being inserted incorrectly? Can reply and provide an example URL to your object and its view? Can you also provide the actual HTML code that is being produced (just the bad HTML code) versus what you would like to see? ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
