A collection of active "skin +layers" grouped in a particular order forms a "skin". "Add-on" CMF +products often provide skin layers that are activated within a +particular skin to provide the site with additional features. + +:mod:`repoze.bfg` itself has no such concept, and no package provides +a direct replacement, but bfg :term:`view` code combined with +differing :term:`request type` attributes can provide a good deal of +the same sort of behavior. The `vudo.bfg <http://docs.vudo.me/>`_ +package is an attempt to allow directories on disk to represent +collections of templates, each of which can be thought of as a minimal +skin. + + |
