Silva Code Sources
On this page you can download Code Sources (.zexp
format) from members of the Silva community. The packages are listed by latest release.
What is a Code Source?
Code Sources are powerful tools, providing just about any functionality that’s possible with Zope, but not burdening an Author by requiring technical knowledge or syntax sensitive markup. The Code Sources can be imported into the ZMI and become available via the Silva External Sources framework.
Silva documents permit all ‘the usual’ elements such as various headings, lists types, insertion of images and alignment, styling of text, etc. Sometimes other functionality is needed, such as the insertion of a live list of news items, or embedding a Quicktime movie. For these situations a Code Source can be inserted, which provides the author with a settings form. For instance for a Flash object the parameters that can be configured are: width, height, play, loop, quality, and other optional settings. Another example is retrieval of live data from an external database.
A Manager needs to create a Code Source, but once it’s prepared it can be used in multiple documents. The interface in the editor is author-friendly, completely separated from the code behind it.
More info
There is a How-To for Code Sources included in the Silva Documentation. The same docs can be installed locally in your Silva instance via the Extensions Service.
If you have questions or problems with one of the Code Sources, either send an email to the author, or better yet, send it to the Silva mailing list and there will be someone willing to answer your questions.

Silva MultiTOC Code Source
Allows Authors to place a listing of the contents of a container that’s located elsewhere in the site. Multiple containers can be listed, one after the other. Authors can choose which Silva content types to list, such as documents, folders, or files.
The listing can be inserted within the document flow like a normal Table of Contents, or encapsulated as a portlet for sidebar content. The rendering matches Silva typographical selectors, and layout is fully controlled by css.
The MultiTOC can also be set to display documents being edited for an accurate preview of unpublished site sections.
