TTW template customization manager.

This package aims to bring support for TTW jbot (or "Just a bunch of templates") support for Plone. jbot customizations can be added for each Plone site. There is likely a minor performance impact on utilizing this product. No benchmarks have been taken yet.

This package is an extension of z3c.jbot which allows you to do template overrides in python packages for Plone.

All you need to do is install this package on a Plone site and then create a jbot folder in your diazo theme.

Once you install the product on a Plone site, in Site Setup, there will be a jbot control panel entry. From there, you can add your jbot customizations for that site.

Lets say you want to override the footer template. Click the Search Resources button, search for footer, and click the customize button next to the template name in the search results. You can then make changes to the template, save, and the changes will be visible in the site on refresh.

If the same resource is customized at both the site and theme level, the theme customization takes precedence.

This implementation requires the use of the data directory of a running Plone client. For most Plone installs, the directory used will be something like <buildout-dir>/var/jbot. The directory will be created automatically if missing. The user running the Plone client will need write access to this directory.
