z3c.layer.pagelet : resourceDirectory does not work

[Christophe Combelles]

This kind of URL doesn't work in z3c.layer.pagelet : /++skin++myskin/site/@@/img/image.png

During traversal, an ItemTraverser is used to traverse "img", and it fails with NotFound.
A Resources view should be found instead, to be able to use the resource directory.

However this URL works : /++skin++myskin/site/++resource++img/image.png

There is a wrong or missing registration somewhere when traversing "@@".

It looks like problem I've experienced before. The problem is that views/resources are looked as "Interface", not as something like "IResource" and when you register an unnamed z3c:layout for upper browser layer, it's looked up as Interface before the zope.app.publisher's Resources that is registered as unnamed browser:page in the less-specific browser layer.

The quick fix is to re-register zope.app.publisher.browser.resources.Resources in your top browser layer as an unnamed browser:page.

I mailed about it in the mailing list, but there weren't any interest (http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-users/2008-September/008191.html). I hope we'll get back and fix that problem, possibly with backward-incompatibilites though.
