Introduction

bobtemplates.kotti provides mr.bob templates to generate packages for the Kotti CMS

Available templates are:

• addon: a template for a full featured Kotti add-on, including
  • a content type class
  • add / edit forms and two selectable default views for the content type
  • fanstatic resources specific to these views
  • i18n infrastructure
  • test suite with 100% test coverage for the autogenerated code
• theme: a simple template for a Kotti theme package.
• widget: a template for a Kotti widget package, including
  • fanstatic resources
  • i18n infrastructure
  • test suite with 100% test coverage for the autogenerated code

Global settings

[variables]

author.name = Andreas Kaiser
author.email = disko@binary-punks.com
author.github.user = disko
