Hi,
I need some help. I have a DTML method at the root of Zope called 'Template'. How can I make the constructor of a ZClass (folderish) to copy this
method
to each of its instances ? Can someone provide me with a complete snippet to add in the ZClass constructor ?
Copy? Why? aquisition should make it 'visible' in every subfolder automatically.
Regards Tino
I have several reasons whay I need to attach a template to each ZClass. Among them are: 1/ cases like high level folders where I might want to customize the page's rendering and/or skin, 2/ cases like contained objects which uses a generic skin (but you can still customize the skin of one among them, if you want) 3/ my site needs to be easily designed / modified by Web Designers that do not understand Acquisition. Thanks for the tip Chris, I was able to do it by adding my ZClass-specific-template in the Zope Product folder and adding a call to manage_clone(ZClass-specific-template, 'standard_template', [REQUEST]) in the ZClass constructor method. I use the same id 'standard_template' to exploit acquisition globally on the site (the Web designer would not have to care about that). Next thing is generalising this method to also allow multiple templates available for each object i.e. the Content Manager can choose a prefered skin when instanciating an object.
