[RT] Modules in Lenya
Hello developers,
I need to develop a newsletter functionality for 2 sites I did with
lenya. IMHO Lenya needs a mechanism to plugin such functionalities.
Of course a publication is a kind of a module providing functionality,
but I think of modules as building blocks for publications.
I did the following to have a simple module concept, which extends the
usecase concept.
It's like this:
- A new matcher called module acting on the var. lenya.module
- global-sitemap.xmap routes a request with param lenya.module=mname to
the module mname. It mounts a sitemap with the following pattern:
modules/{mname}/module.xmap
- Each module has a usecase.xmap located at modules/{mname}/usecase.xmap
I want to use my module in some publications. I see modules as aspects
of publications. That means functionality which may be used in a lot of
pubs.
WDYT?

You can share an accreditable manager between publications:
<accreditable-manager type="file">
<parameter name="directory"
value="context:///lenya/pubs/default/config/ac/passwd"/>
</accreditable-manager>
This means that you can't share the newsletter publication
between two pubs with different accreditables, but you
can't have everything :)

If this is possible, I think it would make sense to keep
the publications separated with shared access control.

Yes, but there is still a problem with pubs:
In my case the newsletter stuff will be used in different pubs. Should
mean I would access a pub from another pub. What about single sign ons?
Does the user need to login to two pubs then?
Imagine I want to use the blogging stuff on more than one pub? What
would be the best way to reuse the blog functionality in my publications
as well as the newsletter stuff?

IMHO yes. For the moment, one level of modularization
is enough :)

Ok, I now see a point why to use a publication for a modules.
For my newsltetters I need lots of forms, a navigation, menu,etc. This
is of course a concern of a publication.......
Makes sense?
