[Zope3-dev] RFC: ViewDirectoryHierarchyReorganization

[Tom Deprez]

Hi,

concerning ViewDirectoryHierarchyReorganization:

Just wondering, would it be possible to work with software links? Assume you
keep the views as it is now (in the code itself), so you can access them
through the ways as it is now (and the packaging keeps the same). But at the
same time, you make a new seperate directory hierarchy which only contains
software links to the real directories. So for the Web Developer it looks
like it is placed on a totally different place, but in fact they aren't
really.

How this virtual links directory is created can be approached in several
ways:

1) Automatic: The virtual link directory is created from a iteration over
some real hierarchies. To make it more configurable, the developer could
even add tags or something telling it has to be visible in the specific view
directory or not.

2) Manual: The developer itself adds the virtual links to it's package. The
directory structure would be the same as you would do if you change
everything from the current 'code' situation to the proposed situation

Regards,
Tom.
