Is 'stxfile' the actual filename? I'm not concerned about it being structured initially - just want to see it working in principle with any file containg some text.
It's the name of an object. I made up this name for your "structure text file, in each of the folders A B C". You may call it as you will.
Note: there is no such thing as a "file" in the ZODB. Everything is an object.
Really? You should try clicking on the drop down menu near the Add button of ZMI. That allows you to create a file ;-)...
This is how "content" is viewed. One thing I forgot to mention: you would apply this template (say it's named 'special_view') to your folders, like:
http://localhost/A/special_view http://localhost/B/special_view http://localhost/C/special_view
Now, if we used a template like this (let's name it 'direct_view')::
<div>I'm a header</div>
<p tal:replace="structure context/CookedBody"> This is sample page content </p>
<div>I'm a footer</div>
we could apply it like so::
http://localhost/A/stxfile/direct_view http://localhost/B/stxfile/direct_view http://localhost/C/stxfile/direct_view
This is a much more typical pattern, at least for content. If you want to apply a wrapper to page templates, then you use macros.
I can't say I understood much of that, but this web page gave me an example of exactly what I wanted to do:- http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1092772190 Here is the code snippet which looks somewhat different to that which you suggested, or is it basically the same? <html> <body> <!-- assume there is a file or other object containing structured text, and it's called foobar. --> <span tal:define="stx python:modules['Products'].PythonScripts.standard.structured_text; the_text here/foobar" tal:content="structure python:stx(the_text)"> The structured text goes here. </span> </body> </html> The problem is finding such examples, but at least in this instance I've learnt something, so thanks for the help.
