[Zope] Use Page Template to emulate standard_html_footer and header

Thu, 21 Feb 2002 22:15:55 +0100

--- standard_html_header Python Script ---------

page = context.standardlook()
return page[:page.find('<!--METALbody-->')]

------------------------------------------------------------------

--- standard_html_footer Python Script ---------

page = context.standardlook()
return page[page.find('<!--METALbody-->')+len('<!--METALbody-->')+1:]

------------------------------------------------------------------

---- standardlook Page Template-------------------

<html metal:define-macro="standard">
... bla bla...
    <div metal:define-slot="body">

<!--METALbody-->

    </div>
... bla bla...
</html>

---------------------------------------------------------------

The sad thing about this approach is that you have to invoke the macro 
template twice, but it lets you have the odd few DTML methods in a 
ZPT'ified structure.
