Re: Pier Templates

Making Pier configurable is something I spent a bit of time on. Pier-Jetsam-Environment package (in pieraddons) moves everything that configures Pier into the PRFrame class heirarchy. You choose your chosen PRFrame class in the seaside/config app. The Frame class can be coded to provide default environments (which do not appear in the tree to users), template environments (when the user adds an environment it is initialised automatically), stylesheets, and loading of js libraries. The package comes with an Admin Frame which presents the same as the old pier admin. It has frames which can be subclassed to use blueprint css. It also has a frame which implements 7 common layout options that you can style and switch between. There is even a top level frame which allows subsections of the site to switch to use different frames. Keith
