I think I now understand, you want the plugin to work like it does online.
After you install a new app e.g. 'alayout' and then the layout plugin 'Optimism', the layout is copied over the top of views/layout.html. This is visible from: http://localhost:8000/alayout/ But the images and urls etc are not adjusted. Of course you are just using the html to give you a head start and will need to rebuild layout.html with your own data etc. If you want to the see the page with all the links/images working go to this page: http://localhost:8000/alayout/static/plugin_layouts/layouts/Optimism/index.html This is the equivalent of what you are seeing in the preview at www.web2py.com Is that what you mean? -D On Feb 15, 8:04 pm, stargate <[email protected]> wrote: > If you go here > > http://www.web2py.com/layouts > > then preview Optimism.
