Hi,

You can't do that because pastebin is not designed to be used in that way.

You mean, even though pastebin's RootPage is derived from a Fragment, I can't embed it into another Page? This would mean nevow is not component based, according to my understanding at least. I can't believe that.

Otherwise simply return the root page of the pastebin from the child_pastebin method of the root page of your site.

That does the URL-space-embedding of the pastebin into another page. But not the design wise embedding.

As I told you the first time you should use a dictionary that contains fragments, in fact that's exactly what you should do.

I know. But, sorry if this seems stubborn, I still don't understand how a dictionary of fragments would solve my need to have hierarchically organized fragments.

What you are trying to do is far less dynamic than what you tried to explain.

Why? I still didn't encounter an example in nevow with fragments containing other fragments, deciding which child-fragment to show based on the URL.

Just pass the docFactory argument to the Page class when you create it and let the Fragments render themselves with the appropriate template (when the are needed, and they are not strictly here).

That does not solve my problem.

if you only want to change the outer parts of a page then use the macro system (it is _static_ and request agnostic, it's compiled at the first request but has no connection with it (and it's wrong to act in that way).

Use a single macro.html template in your application and write everything else in order to fill the macro slots, when you need to change the macro change it (the macro template is the docFactory of the base Page class, when the rest inherits it will fill the content macro (or sidebar or whatever macro) with its own template that statically depends on the page you are writing in that moment.

Macros seem far to static and I don't see how they could solve my problem neither.

I'll keep trying, as I don't believe nevow is unable to do that.

Regards

Markus
