[Zope] Integrating METAL into Zope Product

Wed Jan 10 15:26:41 EST 2007

Define it as a class attribute

class MyProduct(...):

    ptMaster = PageTemplateFile('ptMaster', globals())
    index = PageTemplateFile('index', globals())

ptMaster.pt will then have to look like this::

  <html metal:define-macros="headerfooter">
  <body metal:define-slot="body"></body>
  </html>

and index.pt::

  <html metal:use-macros="here/ptMaster/macros/headerfooter">
  <body metal:fille-slot="body">BODY!</body>
  </html>
