It seems that Kid is unable to handle nested layout templates. Here's what I'm trying to do:
1) i want master.kid to define site-wide metadata and provide the 'login' and 'logout' elements 2) for each section of my site, i want to define a template which provides a section-specific header and footer. 3) for for each sub-section, i want to define a set of templates which provide different types of content - charts or graphs, or image galleries, or whatever. Here's what i've got (simplified a bit): master.kid: ------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <?python import sitetemplate ?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#"; py:extends="sitetemplate"> <head py:match="item.tag == '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}head'"> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" py:replace="''"/> <title>the title</title> <div py:replace="[item.text]+item[:]"/> </head> <body py:match="item.tag == '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}body'"> <a href="/login">Login</a> <div py:replace="[item.text]+item[:]"/> </body> </html> --------------------------- section.kid: -------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#"; py:layout="'master.kid'"> <head> <link href="/static/css/project.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <span>Section Title Here</span> <content>Default Content Here</content> </body> </html> --------------------------- subsection.kid: --------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#"; py:layout="'sectiont.kid'"> <div py:match="item.tag == 'content'"> Project Dashboard Content Here </div> </html> --------------------------- If i view the section template everything works fine - the <head> info shows up, the login shows up, and the section header shows up. The problem is that when i view the subsection template, it only brings in the content from the section template - it doesn't bring in the <head> content defined in master.kid. I've tried different combinations of py:extends and py:layout, and it seems like when kid extends a template or uses a template as a layout template, it doesn't serialize the referenced layout before using it. In other words, Kid only seems to handle one level of inheritance. Has anyone else been able to chain 3-4 layout templates together and have them work? what am i doing wrong? or is this just one of kid's limitations? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
