I'm rewriting it, but it's a different story. It's called powerpack. Instant press is blog/ cms application solution oriented to visual. But in powerpack I want to achieve that could make an cms or blog but this don't mix with the rest of the application, because powerpack is boilerplate app like welcome, you can do your application an add pages you can administer, or add comments to some of your controllers. I'm rewriting powerpack that are comming in the nexts weeks in version 2.0.
The develop version of 2.0 is in https://bitbucket.org/mulonemartin/web2pyboilerplate/overview but when are ready is going to replace powerpack. Some example =====Controllers=========== from plugins.comments.main import PluginCommentsdef plugin_comments(): """ Example plugin PluginComments """ _ = PluginComments(boilerplate) _.install() comments = _.render() return dict(comments=comments) This example in controllers, not required nothing in models (only boilerplate that is central class) so does not interfered with others controllers, it's loaded when it's need it and give comments when you do /mycontroller/plugin_comments def plugin_markitup(): """ Example plugin Markitup """ """ Move to your models if you want to use in all controllers.""" _ = PluginMarkitup(boilerplate) _.render('#mytextarea') mytextarea = TEXTAREA(_id='mytextarea') return dict(textarea=mytextarea) def plugin_sunlight(): """ Example plugin Sunlight """ """ Move to your models if you want to use in all controllers.""" _ = PluginSunlight(boilerplate) content = _.render(""" `` def test(): return "this is Python code" ``:python """) return dict(content=content) def plugin_simplecontact(): """ Example plugin Simplecontact """ _ = PluginSimpleContact(boilerplate) form = _.render() return dict(form=form) 2011/7/22 DanB <[email protected]> > Martin, > > Thanks so much for the quick response!
