However, I've found that template functions don't help much when generating presentation-oriented Javascript which references page content - choose your poison, hack presentation logic in the controller or use a PI in the template. TG's default kid templates currently use the <?python?>PI to check identity, selectively rendering a "login" / "logout" link as appropriate - although might be a moot point as to whether that should be considered to be application logic or presentation logic. > I think this approach fits quite nicely with templates, and we've Handy, thanks for that. > started collected some functions that are useful in common > presentation logic: > But I'm afraid that many people would still find it easier if they I'm not above hacking templates with application logic --- it doesn't > could just drop into raw Python in the template, which is why I'm > considering adding support for the <?python ?> PI. prompt a server restart and has proved to be a fluid and useful rapid prototyping technique for when I'm experimenting. After the page functionality is drafted out, I migrate the application logic into the model/controller as appropriate. Cheers, Graham. You must Sign in before you can post messages.
