This product provides the layouts for browser pages on forums.e-democracy.org. It is based on gs.content.layout, the product that provides layouts for browser pages for GroupServer.
The Your Groups and Suggested Groups listings in the site navigation menu are provided by a content provider: groupserver.NavGroupsListing. This content provider produces a simple unordered list of groups. The content provider has two parameters that can be defined when included in a template:
- groupsTypeToDisplay - Determines which set of groups to display:
- groups that the user can join (joinableGroups)(default);
- groups that the user is a member of (memberOfGroups); or
- suggested groups for the user to join (suggestedGroups), which is based on the suggestedGroups property of the site object (editable via the ZMI), which is a lines property containing group ids
- maxGroupsToDisplay - Defines the maximum number of groups to list. If 0 (the default), all groups within the choosen category will be displayed. A negative value will cause an error.
An example of calling the content provider to display upto 6 groups that the user is a member of:
<ul tal:define="groupsTypeToDisplay string:memberOfGroups;
maxGroupsToDisplay python:6;"
tal:replace="structure provider:groupserver.NavGroupsListing">
</ul>
A seperate template exists for each category of groups that can be displayed. They can be found in browser/templates/contentProviders/.
In addition to the layouts provided by gs.content.layout, this product also provides a Minimal layout. Because the Full and Menu layouts of this egg use a significant amount of dynamic content, the Minimal layout is provided for pages on which it is better to not have dynamic content, such as Error pages. The Minimal layout should retain much of the look of the Full layout, and might even include menus and content stored in the ZODB, but its templates should not attempt to access object properties.
