1   Widgets

Notes on widgets:

• CMF-compatible skins are stored in skins/cpsportlets_widgets.
• CPS3-specific skins are stored in skins/cpsportlets_widgets_cps3.
• Plone2-specific skins are stored in skins/cpsportlets_widgets_plone2.

The CPS3 (or the Plone2) skin is installed on top of the CMF skin.

2   Page templates / python scripts

• The page templates are used for the presentation. They should be generic and cross-platform unless the presentation differs between platforms.
• The python scripts are used to prepare the data that will be presented.

Specific implementations (CPS3/Plone) should be done in the scripts not in the page templates.

For instance we write:

• showData.pt:

  ...
  <div tal:define="data here/getData" tal:content="data/title" />
  ...
  

with the getData.py file located in skins/cpsportlets_widgets, in skins/cpsportlets_widgets_plone2 and in skins/cpsportlets_widgets_cps3.

• getData.py:

  title = ...
  return {'title': title}
  

Instead of:

- showData.pt:

<div tal:define="data here/getCPSData" tal:content="data/title" />
