Browser layer management for Zope 2 applications
Project description
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" />
