[Grok-dev] automatic static resources

[Noe Nieto]

Newer versions of Grok now use fanstatic for delivering static assets.

Make sure you have something like this in your setup.py

setup(name='yourapp',
      version=version,
      description="",
      long_description="Your app",
      # Get strings from
http://www.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers
      classifiers=[],
      keywords="",
      author="Someone",
      author_email="dude at somewhere.com",
      url="http://www.somewhere.com",
      license="",
      package_dir={'': 'src'},
      packages=find_packages('src'),
      include_package_data=True,
      zip_safe=False,
      install_requires=[
          'setuptools',
          'grok',
          'grokui.admin',
          'fanstatic',
          'zope.fanstatic',
          'grokcore.startup',
          'zope.sendmail',
      ],
      entry_points={
          'fanstatic.libraries': [
              'your_app = your_app.resource:library',
          ]
      },
      )

The entry_points thing is very important. To know why look here:
http://www.fanstatic.org/en/latest/library.html#making-fanstatic-available-in-your-project

Also, fanstatic filter must be declared in your paster.ini file (might be
in etc/debug.ini.in).

[DEFAULT]
zope_conf = %(here)s/zope.debug.conf

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
host = 8000

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = accesslogging evalexception fanstatic grok

[filter:accesslogging]
use = egg:Paste#translogger

[filter:evalexception]
use = egg:z3c.evalexception#ajax

[filter:fanstatic]
use = egg:fanstatic#fanstatic
versioning = false
recompute_hashes = true
debug = true

[app:grok]
use = egg:grokcore.startup#debug
