I can't comment to much on Cheetah because I don't use it. However, we will be releasing a new template package in the next couple of days which is very ease to use and yet very powerful. Our package integrates seamlessly into WebWare allowing you to easily mix templates in with your regular servlets as well as anything else you want. The templates are based on a modified version of phpBB templates, and like Cheetah the templates are compiled. However, we are compiling the templates on a as needed bases on the fly. In other words all you have to do is tell the "template" function what template you are using and it will compile it if needed or use the compiled one if that is appropriate. I really think you will be happy with it, we are just getting the package ready to distribute. I will post a message back to this group once the website is up and ready
Jose -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Roberts Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Webware-discuss] Cheetah and Webware Can someone give me a 10,000 foot overview of Cheetah and Webware playing nicely together? I have a pure Webware site that I would like to play with converting to Cheetah. My experiments have not been, umm, entirely successful. My basic questions, I think, revolve around the inheritance structure. With Webware, I have my own SitePage derive from WebKit.SidebarPage, then I have SecurePage.py derive from that for those pages that need a username, and so on. I should, I think, be able to mix Cheetah tmpl pages, PSP pages, and Python scripts freely in my inheritance structure. Isn't that true? If so, where does Cheetah's base class fit into the picture? When I played with this, I found that the root level 'render me' function differed between the two, and I couldn't seem to get them resolved sensibly. I'd appreciate any advice. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
