Instructions for working with Mako on Turbogears.

Step 1:

Edit <project>myfirstproject/config/app.cfg
add:

mako.directories = ["."]

Step 2:

Edit controller.py
add:

@expose('mako:myfirstproject.templates.private')
# Template will be located in <project>/templates/
# name as follows: pagename.mak
# within templates refer to static content with:
../static/css/stylesheet.css
def private(self):
return dict(a='foo')

Step 3:

Create: <project>/templates/private.mak
insert "hello world" and start Turbogears

Step 4:

Test your mako template at the following url

http://<servername>:8080/private

You should get your "hello world" message in your browser window.

Again thanks mark for helping me get this working.

regards

Charles
