plone.browserlayer 2.2.4

Browser layer management for Zope 2 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"
      />
