Hi there,
Ya lost me right there, where is there a copy involved? Why can't you put your Foo layout components in a FooLayout folder in the root folder and say:
<dtml-with FooLayout></dtml-with>
When you want to use them? The only downside of this from your approach is that it's not 'transparent'.
I think "transparent" is better, as you can also do the sorting afterwards, e.g. when you think that it's now too full.. You wouldn't have to change every occurence of an object in the dtml code somewhere then.
But otherwise what you are proposing does make sense, I'm getting the impression of 'overlaying' various folder namespaces while keeping their organziational structure. Ok, some questions.
What happens when a transparent folder 'A' contains a tranparent folder 'B'?
Maybe this simply shouldn't be allowed.. ;-) At least then all the mentioned problems wouldn't occur..
Yes, this shouldn't be allowed, i.e. a transparentfolder shouldn't be able to contain a folder or a transparantfolder (...). A transparentfolder is just something to ease the organisation of a certain node. Nothing more. Tom
