I have asked this question somewhat differently in another thread but here I
go again from another angle, as it might have been my approach that was
wrong to begin with.
I have a Python product that allready does what I want it to, but I want to
be able to create different views of the products content. (Model View
Controller principle). To do this I have created a folder with different
views (Or skins if you would prefer the Gnome/KDE way of saying it.)
views
view1
list.dtml
view.dtml
edit.dtml
view2
list.dtml
view.dtml
edit.dtml
In my class I have made a value that hold the name of the selected view, I
call this:
self.selView
I want to make it possible to use the different sets of dtml files to create
a different look and feel to the data.
I want to write my "index_html" method so that it returns a rendered version
of "list.dtml" corresponding to the selected view, by the name of the folder
holding the selected view.
something like this (which doesn't work):
def index_html():
return HTMLFile('views/' + self.selView+ 'list')
Is that the best way to do it?
