Let's assume I have a sample application with following classes:
##
## impelementation/SampleApp.py
##
class SampleApp: # inherits from required classes
""" """
implements(ISampleApp)
# ...
index_html = PageTemplateFile('templates/index.pt')
##
## implementation/SampleAppUser.py
##
class SampleAppUser: # inherits from required classes
""" """
implements(ISampleAppUser)
# ...
index_html = PageTemplateFile('templates/user_index.pt')
manage_addSampleAppUserForm = PageTemplateFile('manage_addSampleUserUserForm.pt')
Now I'd like to able to link to sign-in form (manage_addSampleUserUserForm.pt
) from anywhere in the application, including its index page (index.pt
).
I've tried the following approach but it doesn't work:
index.pt
:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal">
<head><title>SampleApp</title></head>
<body>
<h2>Title</h2><hr/>
<a href="#" title="Sign In"
tal:attributes="href here/signin.html">Sign In</a>
</body>
</html>
configure.zcml
:
<configure
xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
xmlns:five="http://namespaces.zope.org/five"
xmlns:browser="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser">
<five:registerPackage package="." initialize=".initialize" />
<browser:page
name="signin.html"
class="bahmanm.sampleapp.implementation.SampleAppUser.SampleAppUser"
template="templates/manage_addSampleUserForm.pt"
permission="zope.Public"
/>
</configure>
During instance startup, Zope complains:
ZopeXMLConfigurationError: File "/home/bahman/sampleapp/sampleapp.devistan/src/bahmanm/sampleapp/configure.zcml", line 10.2-15.5
TypeError: page() takes at least 4 arguments (5 given)
I also tried adding for="*"
but Zope poped up the following error when navigating to the application index page:

What am I doing wrong? To be honest, I believe I'm doing many things wrong :-) as I'm just blind-shooting by reading Zope 3 apidoc and reading other products' code (like SilvaForum).
I'd really appreciate any hint/help. TIA,
Browser pages are separate components altogether. They are not part of the target content type but a separate component altogether.
If all you need is a template (no view), just omit the class directive altogether:
There is no need to create a
PageTemplateFile
instance manually for that.It is not entirely clear what you want to do with your link in your template.
`here/signin.html"
does not look like a valid TALES expression. In plain Zope there are no easy tools to generate absolute URLs relative to a site root; perhaps you just want/signin.html
and not use a TAL expression?
