Using Magritte objects in pier

[Norbert Hartl]

Hi,

last week I did a new start on pier (ok, I do this every
couple of months :) ). I did an application in the late
2006 I'm now trying to ressurect. I developed myself an
external component tree that has a configuration for the
whole site. It has several display modi and makes heavily
use of Announcements to switch/show stuff.

Now I'm thinking that I could benefit by exchanging my
component tree with pier. This way it would be more
flexible and a lot of decorating html stuff could be 
managed by pier.

In the project I also use magritte. I'm not very familiar
with pier so my questions might be very stupid.

- How do I embedded any magritte object on a page? In my
  code I just do anObject asComponent. Is there an easy
  way to just integrate objects on a page. It needs some
  tricks in order not to display all the time the same 
  object. I think yo know what I mean 

- If there is a good solution for the above is there a
  solution for displaying individual slots of an object?
  I mean to have access to an individual component class
  for an instance variable. The most difficult thing 
  (while developing the project) was to layout the
  magritte forms. I would like to see something like 
  +mySuperObject/@title+
  +mySuperObject/@text+
  to display the component classes of the object and
  dealing with the rest of the html the pier way.

There are more questions to come :)
