Hi, I have a special structure and everything looks just fine, except that when I include (+/linktomystructure+) it in another page nothing gets rendered. What can be the possible causes for that?

If the destination does not exist then it should render "/linktomystructure" in red. If you do not have permission to view that structure then it will not render at all. Try */linktomystructure*, if that renders as a disabled (greyed out) link then it would be a permissions problem. Keith

Hi, There are no problems with the rights. If I link to it with */ linktomystructure* it works, but if I embed it nothing gets displayed. Also, if I just view mystructure it works. I thought that when I am embedding it, it should use the same code as when I am viewing it. That is what puzzles me. Cheers, Dory On Nov 17, 2007, at 11:57 AM, Keith Hodges wrote:

I guess that it depends upon what the structure is. If it is a children widget, it displays the children of the top level strucure that is being displayed, rather than its own children. Some of my widgets have a 'target' setting to make it explicit exactly whose children you want. we are getting into wild guessing here.... Keith

Hi, Philippe helped me to find the problem, which was that I did not write the visitor method to render it. So, now I have a PRViewRenderer>>visitMyStructure: that renders it. I do not know if this is the right way, but if it is then I would say we could by default, in visitStructure:, just forward the rendering to the HtmlView. The problem there is that the View needs the context, and I do not know how to get it from the Visitor. Cheers, Doru On Nov 17, 2007, at 12:07 PM, Tudor Girba wrote:

Context... You can usually obtain the current context via PRCurrentContext value Keith

That's it. By default the PRRenderVisitor is used to generate the output. This visitor is also aware of circularities and is able to avoid them. Other views can currently not be embedded, but we could allow a syntax like the following one in the future: +RSS>/blog|view=PBRssView+

I do not know if this is the right way, but if it is then I would say we could by default, in visitStructure:, just forward the rendering to the HtmlView. The problem there is that the View needs the context, and I do not know how to get it from the Visitor.

Just ask the visitor for the current context, he knows how to get it: self context Cheers, Lukas
