[Zope] site structure

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 15:01:51 -0600

If you are like me, you like to keep your standard_html_[header,footer]
fairly stock.  I have started including dtml-method components in my pages
like this:

<dtml-var name="standard_html_header">
<dtml-var name="top_navbar">
*CONTENT HERE*
<dtml-var name="bottom_navbar">
<dtml-var name="standard_html_footer">

Though, I have a difficult situation:  If I understand correctly, definition
of JavaScript functions belongs in the <head> tags.  Does anyone know how to
do this?

That is *exactly* what standard_dtml_header and ...footer are
for.
Together, they *are* your template.

You *include* these in every document (using the <dtml-var
standard...> tag. They'll show up in your documents at run time.

Put the default template into the root folder and all your DTML
documents will acquire it. In a sub-folder, you can either do
nothing (then the acquired header and footer will be used), or
override these with a folder-specicic template.

See the Zope book, it explains it pretty well.
