(Programming) Translating Mako -> Genshi

***chaos***** · Jan 29th, 2009, 4:23:42 PM

Volunteers needed! Code is in /branches/genshi.

www.makotemplates.org
http://genshi.edgewall.org/

Here's a template for regular pages in a section:

Code:

<html xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"
      xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
      py:strip="True">
      
      <py:match path="title" once="True">
          <title>Big Misty</title>
      </py:match>
      
      <py:match path="breadcrumbs" once="True">
          <breadcrumbs><a>This Page</a></breadcrumb>
      </py:match>
      
      <py:match path="content" once="True">
      <content>
          <p>The girth of the Misty is de big Misty</p>
          ...
      </content>
      </py:match>
      
      <xi:include href="base.html" />
</html>

Note: Not every page needs breadcrumbs. For instance, the index page should not have a breadcrumb.

----------

"Base" files in a section (like scms/base.html) need some special attention. They extend the main base template (in /base.html, which extends /raw.html). Here is an example:

Code:

<html xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"
      xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
      py:strip="True">
            
      <py:match path="title" once="True">
          <title>${select("text()"}} - SCMS</title>
      </py:match>
      
      <py:match path="head" once="True">
          <head>
              ... any css you need here ...
              ${select("*")}
          </head>
      </py:match>
      
      <py:match path="breadcrumbs" once="True">
          <breadcrumbs><a href="/scms/">SCMS</a> ${select("*")}</breadcrumbs>
      </py:match>
      
      <py:match path="content" once="True">
      <nav>
      <navbody section="SCMS">
          <a href="/scms/link1">Link1</a>
          <a href="/scms/link2">Link2</a>
          <a href="/scms/link3">Link3</a>
      </navbody>
      <content />
      </nav>
      </py:match>
      
      <xi:include href="base.html" />
</html>

(Note: I have a Genshi transformation filter that will remove the <a> on the current link and replace it with <strong>, and everything in the navbody will be listified. Don't worry about any of that! The whole purpose of switching template systems is to make our lives easier.)

(Note2: Not every base adds "- Section" to the output. If it doesn't currently, don't add the code)

It'd be nice to get some volunteers. Shiv and ryu told me they'd be up for it but neither have posted in this thread.

I hadn't noticed this thread (or forum for that matter). I'm up for doing this :)

If you don't mind me asking, is this just simply taking the old coding and turning it into Genshi new coding?

I can assist in this project if you still need it done.
