Hi,

You can't do that because pastebin is not designed to be used in that way.
You mean, even though pastebin's RootPage is derived from a Fragment, I
can't embed it into another Page? This would mean nevow is not component
based, according to my understanding at least. I can't believe that.
No it means another thing. It means that the RootPage contains information on
the children of that page and rendering that as a Fragment will lose this
information. This means that the pastebin is not embeddable (which is what I
said) and it should also be clear to you (I already tried to explain this and
also exarkun did now) that a Page should not be used as a Fragment and it's
also wrong to ask a Fragment about its Page children of course.
Otherwise simply return the root page of the pastebin from the
child_pastebin method of the root page of your site.
That does the URL-space-embedding of the pastebin into another page. But not
the design wise embedding.
That does what the pastebin can do at most. If it's not designed to be embedded
than you cannot embed it, simple.
Why? I still didn't encounter an example in nevow with fragments containing
other fragments, deciding which child-fragment to show based on the URL.
That's because nobody ever encountered this usecase, which might mean that what
you are trying to do is done in a different way in Nevow or that you are tring
to use Nevow in a new way.
But anyway there is only ONE segment that is used by the fragment and thus the
ONE segment can be used as a key in a dictionary that contains some Fragments,
here is how you can solve this problem. Also if you name you templates in the
same way you use for the segment then you can also make this even more dynamic
and easy to write.
Just pass the docFactory argument to the Page class when you create it and
let the Fragments render themselves with the appropriate template (when the
are needed, and they are not strictly here).
That does not solve my problem.
IMHO it does and fairly well, you might not have completely grasped nevow or I
may not have completely understood your usecase.
Macros seem far to static and I don't see how they could solve my problem
neither.
They are not too static.
I'll keep trying, as I don't believe nevow is unable to do that.
I think you are trying to use nevow in the same way you use other frameworks
which unfortunately doesn't work at all.
