Re: Override-layout for Silva 2.1

Dear Kit

Eventually I've decided to provide a special content object MyIndex (and
MyIndexVersion) which extends SilvaDocument. Because this content type is
'dumb', the module is very compact.
However, there's quite some boilerplate in the views directory (and some
additions in the install script).
Now I can replace the root container's index document (and its language
versions) by MyIndex objects and, after specifying the zcml directive:
---      
  <browser:page
    name="index.html"
    for=".content.MyContent.MyIndex"
    class="Products.SilvaLayout.browser.silvaview.Content"
    template="templates/override.pt"
    permission="zope2.View"
    layer=".browser.skin.IMySkin"
  />
---
I get the content displayed in the desired layout.

Benno,
We don't know David's hint, that was UCL invention. Quite clever, and  
we've been looking for an opportunity to try it out. But I'm not sure  
how it'll work in a multilingual situation. David, any ideas?

Kit

ps: This still doesn't answer your question, but we'll investigate.
