Re: [Webware-discuss] rewrite sidebar from servlet

[Aaron H. <aa...@me...>]

Any servlet that is based on SidebarPage will have the Sidebar methods.  You can override the entire method 

(SitePage is based on SidebarPage)

from SitePage import SitePage
class SecurePage(SitePage):
 '''
 This is the baseclass for all the pages on the site that require you be be avalid user.
 it inherits from SitePage
 '''
 def __init__(self):
     SitePage.__init__(self)

 def writeSidebar(self):
  self.startMenu()
  self.menuItem('Log out','Logout')

if I want the sidebae from SitePage also I can add
    SitePage.writeSidebar(self)
etc....

If you just want a minor to chage then define a SitePage based on SideBar something like so:

from BasePage import BasePage

class SitePage(BasePage):
  def __init__(self):
        self.MenuColor="#FF00FF"

 def writeSidebar(self):
    self.writeln('<font color="%s">' % self.MenuColor)

In the pages where you want the color to change redefine self.MenuColor (You do not need to redefine the writeSidebar method here.

from SitePage import SitePage

class NewPage(SitePage):
  def __init__(self):
        self.MenuColor="#C0C0C0"
