Sphene Community Tools

why did you include the markup.py in the SCT folder instead of making it a dependency? Is that for easier installation?

(found this post with google - so I'll revive this post)

I couldn't find it either, so I uncommented line 1487 and 1488 in communitytools/sphenecoll/sphene/contrib/libs/markdown/markdown.py

but I believe that's not the way it's supposed to be done ...

I just wanted to get on with editing ...

ah. i see.

How is that outside the Sandbox?

http://sct.sphene.net/wiki/show/Sandbox/ralze/

it works fine in my local installation though...

that is ROOT_PATH/communitytools/sphenecoll/sphene/<application>/templates/<path-provided-by-extend> ?

I read the chapter in the djangobook about templates and that seems to be pretty straight-forward stuff.

The only thing, I don't quite get is the big picture with the whole organisation of the project yet- that is, ...
it's a little obscure how the html-sniplets excactly find each other through the whole folder structures
but I see enough to get started...

yes. that was it. It works now.

about issuetracker: I don't really know what would be a small bug and what would be some really big issue ... I just guessed, that it would be pretty basic stuff for you...
and I also just want it written down, that's why I'd like to post stuff, that comes to my mind. There's no pressure to get it fixed asap...

do you want this kind of stuff here or at http://code.google.com/p/sct-project/issues/list ?

Actually, it wouldn't be too hard to make a flexible layout, I believe. I myself, i hate fixed layouts.

But while doing some research I found this article. unfortunately kind of incomplete, but still very insightful:

http://theartisticoutlaw.com/?s=Anatomy+of+a+Forum

he goes way further ... a little too far as far as I'm concerned on some points, but one never knows. Since django fails silently, when variables are not fetched by the template (is that right) this could be a chance to have two branches of design templates... one, that is very much complying with the habits, culture and visual/functional idioms we all know and love in forums. and well one, that's just way out there, trying to reinvent the whole world. And maybe a third one in pink with pretty horses etc.

I personally believe, that the separation from functionality and layout is only helpful, when coding and organization of files for distribution and maintenance. There definitely needs to be some unifying design level to the whole thing. But that's crossing bridges, that are not even built
