"dynamic" tml
Hi! I just want to know something.. I used layouts in T5 (
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5SimpleAndPowerfulLayouts) and it
works OK. My layout-tml has 3 o 4 IF and renders fine.
But what happens if I want really dynamic layout-tml? I mean, if a page uses
layout "peter", it should search a peter.tml, and if a page uses layout
"pretty", pretty.tml.
Is this possible? It would be a great feature for a lot of sites (every user
could change the site layout when he logs in). And really simple, every new
layout is just a new tml file.
Thanks

Nope, <t:delegate/> is used to delegate rendering to an object (e.g. Block)
located in the same page/template. You can only provide locale-specific
templates of your component: Foo.tml, Foo_en.tml, Foo_ru.tml.

You mean <t:delegate> "might" choose between different .tml files in the
webapp dir?

delegate might work. also Velocity with outraw component can somehow achieve
that.

You can use blocks and the ComponentSource component for that, but I
suggest you to rethink what you want.

It is possible to load templates from other places, but you need to
override or decorate some Tapestry services.

You can use CSS for that. See csszengarden.com for examples of radically
different layouts using the same HTML and different CSS and image files.
Tapestry templates are meant to be used by developers, not users. If I
needed to provide some templating for users, I would use some template
engine like Velocity of Freemarker (preferred).
