The (Specific) Placement of Custom Content Type Code

[Ron Chichester]

Hi:

First, thanks to all who work on Substance D.  This project has great promise.

I was reading through the documentation, specifically the part about defining content.  (http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/substanced/en/latest/content.html).  That document was a great introduction to making your own object types, and gave examples.  

The thing that was missing from that documentation, or the thing that I found particularly elusive was *where* to put that file so that Substance D would see it and incorporate that new Content Type.  If I was to make my own module named blog.resources, where would I save it so that Substance D could make use of it?

Thanks again...

Hi,

you can put it anywhere inside your package. If you are using the @content decorator to declare your content type, all you need to do is make sure your __init__.py calls config.scan() and the content will be initialized. Scan is a Pyramid concept, which is why it's not explained there. We might need to make a link from the content docs to here:

http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/api/config.html?highlight=scan#pyramid.config.Configurator.scan

Instead of using scan(), you could also import your content from any module and use call config.add_content_type:

config.add_content_type('Blog Entry', BlogEntry)

Hope that helps.
