plone.browserlayer 3.0.2

Browser layer management for Zope applications

Introduction

This package aims to make it easier to register visual components (e.g. views and viewlets) so that they only show up in a Plone site where they have been explicitly installed.

Basic usage

To use this feature, you should:

• declare plone.browserlayer as a dependency, e.g. in setup.py:

  install_requires=[
        'plone.browserlayer',
    ],

• ensure that its ZCML is loaded, e.g. with an include from your own package:

  <include package="plone.browserlayer" />

• create a layer marker interface unique to your product:

  from zope.interface import Interface
  class IMyProductLayer(Interface):
      """A layer specific to my product
      """

• register this with GenericSetup, in a browserlayer.xml file:

  <layers>
      <layer name="my.product"
             interface="my.product.interfaces.IMyProductLayer" />
  </layers>

• register visual components in ZCML for this layer, e.g.:

  <browser:page
      name="my-view"
      for="*"
      layer=".interfaces.IMyProductLayer"
      permission="zope.Public"
      template="my-view.pt"
      />
