Hi,
last week I did a new start on pier (ok, I do this every
couple of months :) ). I did an application in the late
2006 I'm now trying to ressurect. I developed myself an
external component tree that has a configuration for the
whole site. It has several display modi and makes heavily
use of Announcements to switch/show stuff.
Now I'm thinking that I could benefit by exchanging my
component tree with pier. This way it would be more
flexible and a lot of decorating html stuff could be
managed by pier.
In the project I also use magritte. I'm not very familiar
with pier so my questions might be very stupid.
- How do I embedded any magritte object on a page? In my
code I just do anObject asComponent. Is there an easy
way to just integrate objects on a page. It needs some
tricks in order not to display all the time the same
object. I think yo know what I mean
- If there is a good solution for the above is there a
solution for displaying individual slots of an object?
I mean to have access to an individual component class
for an instance variable. The most difficult thing
(while developing the project) was to layout the
magritte forms. I would like to see something like
+mySuperObject/@title+
+mySuperObject/@text+
to display the component classes of the object and
dealing with the rest of the html the pier way.
There are more questions to come :)
