[Zope-dev] Lobby: Renderable ZClasses

[Lalo Martins]

Kevin Howe wrote a version of my ``Renderable base ZClass''
which plugs directly into the ZClass system.

Background info: a Renderable ZClass is one with control of
what happens when you <dtml-var some_object_of_this_class>.

Kevin's version is really cool, but it patches stuff outside
Products/Renderable, so I won't distribute it as the
``official'' Renderable Product. Still, I'd like to lobby for
its inclusion in Zope itself.

How it works: when you create your ZClass, you select
``Renderable'' as one of the base classes. Then (in Kevin's
version) in the Basic tab you select some method to be executed
when people <dtml-var some_object_of_this_class>.

My BannerAd Product and Kevin's ActiveImage Product both use
Renderable. AFAIK, both work with my version and Kevin's.
