five.pt Five bridges and patches to use Chameleon with Zope 2. Overview ======== The five.pt package brings the Chameleon template engine to Zope 2. It's a drop-in replacement, providing bridges to the most common API. Support for browser pages, viewlets and viewlet managers is included. Usage ----- To enable Chameleon, simply include the ZCML configuration:: <include package="five.pt" /> Tempates may be instantiated directly. Here's an example of a browser view which uses a view page template:: from Products.Five import BrowserView from five.pt.pagetemplate import ViewPageTemplateFile class SimpleView(BrowserView): index = ViewPageTemplateFile('simple.pt') Other template classes are available, see the ``pagetemplate`` module. For general information about Chameleon, see http://chameleon.repoze.org/. Changelog ========= 0.7 - 2009-05-20 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Default encoding of the base template set to UTF-8. [malthe] - Update to latest Chameleon. [malthe] - Patch ``macros`` attribute. [malthe] 0.6 - 2009-04-06 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Avoid another case of unconditionally attempting to Acquisition wrap template files. We do have an interface check for this. [hannosch] 0.5 - 2009-02-17 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Added test function to template context. [malthe] - Fixed edge-case (special case?) where the view of a ViewPageTemplateFile is really only the view for a view. [malthe] - Added patch for ``Products.PageTemplates.PageTemplateFile``. [malthe] - Rework the "full namespace provided to path expression" change introduced in 0.3. We no longer call the expensive locals() function but construct a minimal namespace with the context and request ourselves. [hannosch] - If the ``__get__`` method is called uninstantiated, just return the class itself. [malthe] five.pt 0.4 (released 2/13/2009) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Fixed issue where the ``template`` parameter to a viewlet manager directive was effectively ignored. [malthe] - Fixed acquisition-wrapping issue with the (patched) bound template class (could cause infinite loop due to cyclic acquisition chain). [malthe] - Moved evaluate_path and evaluate_exists over to ``z3c.pt``, adding support for global ``path()`` and ``exists()`` functions for use in ``python:`` expressions to it (LP #317967). [sidnei] five.pt 0.3 (released 12/17/2008) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Use bobo traversal if ``OFS.interfaces.ITraversable`` interface is provided. [malthe] - Adjusted the path expression to provide the full namespace to the render function and not just the request. This matches Zope2 behavior. [hannosch] five.pt 0.2 (released 11/29/2008) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - From Zope 2.12 onwards, do not acquisition-wrap content provider. [malthe] - Split out CMF-related code to separate package. [malthe] - Compatibility changes to support Zope 2.10. [malthe] five.pt 0.1 (released 11/19/2008) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Initial release. - Simplified template class inheritance. [malthe] - Added ``path`` and ``exists`` functions to skin template namespace. [malthe] - Added call-support for old-style classes in path expressions. [malthe] - Added monkey-patches to replace template engine for module-level view page template instances. [malthe] - Made `EContext` class more robust. [malthe] - Register custom file-system page template class for use with CMF form controllers. [malthe] - Register custom file-system page template class for use with CMF directory views. [malthe] - Added meta-directives to register browser views, viewlets and viewlet managers using Chameleon templates. [malthe] - Updated to latest API. [malthe] - Package structure.
