zope.app.publisher 3.5.2

Implementations and means for configuration of Zope 3-style views and resources.

Overview

zope.publisher is a general purpose object publishing framework which delegates to a publication object for determining the to-be-published object. With Zope 3’s default publication from zope.app.publication, this is usually a view or a resource.

This package, zope.app.publisher, provides base implementations for those. It also provides ZCML directives for configuring views and resources. More specifically, zope.app.publisher defines the following ZCML directives:

• browser:page

• browser:pages

• browser:view

• browser:menu

• browser:menuItem

• browser:menuItems

• browser:addMenuitem

• browser:resource

• browser:resourceDirectory

• browser:defeaultSkin

• browser:icon

• xmlrpc:view

Changes

3.5.2 (2008-12-06)

• Added possibility to specify custom item class in menuItem, subMenuItem and addMenuItem directives using the item_class argument (LP #291865).

• Menu items registered with <browser:page/> were not re-registered after the first functional test layer ran. In any subsequent functional test layer the items where not availabe (introduced in 3.5.0a3).

• Added a hook to specify a different BaseURL for resources. This makes sense if you want to put resources on a Content Delivery Network. All you need to do is to register an named Adapter ‘resource’ that implements IAbsoluteURL.

3.5.1 (2008-10-13)

• Removed usage of deprecated LayerField from zope.app.component.back35.

3.5.0 (2008-08-05)

• Refactored code to provide more hooks when deriving code from this pacakge.

  • A resource’s URL creation is now in its own method.

  • The resource class of factories can be overwritten.

  • The cache timeout value can now be set as a class or instance attribute.

3.5.0a4 (2007-12-28)

• Backed out the changes for the controversial XML-RPC skin support.

3.5.0a3 (2007-11-27)

• make it possible to override menus: this was not possible because new interfaces where created any time a menu with the same name was created.

• Resolve ZopeSecurityPolicy deprecation warning.

3.5.0a2 (2007-08-23)

• <browser:defaultView> now accepts classes as well as interfaces.

3.5.0a1 (2007-08-21)

• Added a layer attribute to xmlrpc:view. This works just like layers for browser:view etc. but uses the IXMLRPCSkinType.
