Hi,

I am trying to convert a HTML::Mason powered site into Zope powered site. It uses autohandlers heavily so that any HTML file uploaded would get a header and footer and some other nifty features.

I know that you can define standard_header and footer to do similar things in Zope. But it means people need to include them using DTML in the files. I am wondering if there is a way to force all the content under a particular folder or path to go through an auxiliary program. In the minimal case, I would be satisfied with something like Apache::Sandwich.

I would like to know if there is some product that does what I want.

The clean solution would be to derive a new ZClass which holds the existing document body as a text property, and wraps the standard_html_header/footer around it in the class' index_html method. The *_add method could handle stripping out / converting any other Mason-specific stuff before storing the property. -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
