collective.localheaderandfooter 1.0

UNKNOWN

Introduction

This product allows you to apply custom header and/or footer to your Plone contents.

What it does

Registers a Dexterity behavior that you can enable on any content types and overrides plone.header and plone.footer viewlets.

Once enabled, on the edit page you’ll find two new fields: Custom header and Custom footer.

You can select an item among the ones registered via Plone registry.

On save the selected header and/or footer will be applied on the content.

How to register a new header of footer

Create a registry.xml in you package’s profile:

<record name="localheaderandfooter.headers">
    <value purge="false">
    header-demo|Header demo
    header-free-account|Header free account
    </value>
</record>

<record name="localheaderandfooter.footers">
    <value purge="false">
    footer-light|Light footer
    </value>
</value>

one item per line in the form name|title.

The name should match an existing view or page template, like:

<browser:page
    for="*"
    name="header-demo"
    template="templates/header-demo.pt"
    permission="zope2.View"
    layer="..interfaces.ILayer"
    />

The latter will take precedence so that you can create them also from portal skins and override existing views.

Known bugs

If you use this package you cannot override plone.header or plone.footer viewlets’ template via z3c.jbot because your template will be not taken into account.

To override one of them you need to register a view w/ a template and call it default-portal-header or default-portal-footer:

<browser:page
    for="*"
    name="default-portal-header"
    template="header.pt"
    permission="zope.Public"
    layer="..interfaces.ILayer"
    />

In this way you can also customize default header/footer per-content or per-marker interface.
