ECN Web Site: Configuring Your Site to Use the ECO Wraps
ECN Web Site: Configuring Your Site to Use the ECO Wraps
The Engineering Communications Office has created standard templates for use on Purdue Engineering related web sites. To use them, you will have to host your site in Zope and follow these directions. It is expected that you should have an understanding of Zope before attempting this.
First create a standard_html_header DTML Method. The contents of the method should look like this:
<dtml-var "ECN.Ztools.wrapEngine(wrap=ECO.wrap5)">
Next create a standard_html_footer DTML Method. The contents of the method should look like this:
<dtml-var "ECN.Ztools.wrapEngine()">
Note
All Folders and documents must have the "Access Contents Information" permission granted to the "Anonymous" role for the ECO Wraps to function correctly. This is the default setting and should not need changing.
The "Access Contents Information" permission protects information such as the Title, Ids, and Properties of objects. If you wish to protect this information from "Anonymous" users, there is currently no way to use the ECO wraps.
For more information on Zope permissions see Managing Zope Permissions.

Themes
The theme of a site is adjusted by changing the standard_html_header to pass a "theme" argument to the ECN Wrap Engine. Example:
<dtml-var "ECN.Ztools.wrapEngine(wrap=ECO.wrap5, theme='greyMotherboard')">
This would change the site's look. Contact the Engineering Communications Office if you would like a theme created for a site.
