zope.browserresource 6.0

Browser resources implementation for Zope.

zope.browserresource

Note

This package is at present not reusable without depending on a large chunk of the Zope Toolkit and its assumptions. It is maintained by the Zope Toolkit project.

This package provides an implementation of browser resources. It also provides directives for defining those resources using ZCML.

Resources are static files and directories that are served to the browser directly from the filesystem. The most common example are images, CSS style sheets, or JavaScript files.

Resources are be registered under a symbolic name and can later be referred to by that name, so their usage is independent from their physical location. Resources can also easily be internationalized.

4.0.0 (2013-02-20)

• The previous release had a broken egg, sorry.

3.10.1 (2009-11-24)

• Import hooks functionality from zope.component after it was moved there from zope.site. This lifts the dependency on zope.site and thereby, ZODB.

• Import ISite and IPossibleSite from zope.component after they were moved there from zope.location.

3.10.0 (2009-09-25)

• Add an ability to forbid publishing of some files in the resource directory, this is done by fnmatch’ing the wildcards in the forbidden_names``class attribute of ``DirectoryResource. By default, the .svn is in that attribute, so directories won’t publish subversion system directory that can contain private information.

3.9.0 (2009-08-27)

Initial release. This package was splitted off zope.app.publisher as a part of refactoring process.

Additional changes that are made during refactoring:

• Resource class for file resources are now selected the pluggable way. The resource directory publisher and browser:resource ZCML directive now creating file resources using factory utility lookup based on the file extension, so it’s now possible to add new resource types without introducing new ZCML directives and they will work inside resource directories as well.

  NOTE: the “resource_factories” attribute from the DirectoryResource was removed, so if you were using this attribute for changing resource classes for some file extensions, you need to migrate your code to new utility-based mechanism.

  See zope.browserresource.interfaces.IResourceFactoryFactory interface.

• The Image resource class was removed, as they are actually simple files. To migrate, simply rename the “image” argument in browser:resource and browser:i18n-resource directives to “file”, if you don’t do this, resouces will work, but you’ll get deprecation warnings.

  If you need custom behaviour for images, you can register a resource factory utility for needed file extensions.

• The PageTemplateResource was moved into a separate package, “zope.ptresource”, which is a plugin for this package now. Because of that, the “template” argument of browser:resource directive was deprecated and you should rename it to “file” to migrate. The PageTemplateResource will be created for “pt”, “zpt” and “html” files automatically, if zope.ptresource package is included in your configuration.

• Fix stripping the “I” from an interface name for icon title, if no title is specified.

• When publishing a resource via Resources view, set resource parent to an ISite object, not to current site manager.

• Clean up code and improve test coverage.
