[Zope3-Users] Output the template of a view class

[Sven Schomaker]

Hi Florian,

AFAIK there is actually no need to manually return
the pagetemplate if you've registered your page via
zcml, since the page directive creates a new
SimpleViewClass with your class definition and
template as a mix-in.

Nevertheless the SimpleViewClass created exposes the
template provided by the zcml as an attribute
called 'index' and returns it in the __call__ method
itself.

Look at the code in zope.app.pagetemplate.simpleviewclass
to see how it works.

So if your willing to return the template yourself, just
define the __call__ method in your view class like this:

def __call__(self):
    return self.index()

This should do the trick (Tried it myself to assure
not being mistaken, but if so please don't let me die
untaught!). But you definetly should not have to do it,
since it's supposed to work right out of the box.

Regards,

Sven
