z3c.jbot 0.1

Drop-in template overrides.

Overview

The z3c.jbot (or “Just a bunch of templates”) package allows drop-in page template overrides.

It works by giving page templates a canonical filename which you can use to provide a replacement in your own package. Simply register a template overrides directory and give your new template the canonical filename.

Canonical filename

The canonical filename is defined as the path relative to the package within which the template is located with directory separators replaced with dots.

Example:

Suppose you want to override: /plone/app/layout/viewlets/logo.pt You would use the filename: plone.app.layout.viewlets.logo.pt

Registering a on overrides directory

In python:

>>> from z3c.jbot.manager import getGlobalTemplateManager
>>> getGlobalTemplateManager().registerDirectory(directory)

In ZCML:

<include package=”z3c.jbot” file=”meta.zcml” /> <browser:templateOverrides directory=”<directory>” />
