[FLOW3-general] Interaction between two or more Packages

[Thomas Layh]

I am currently not sure if my following answer is what you asked.

What I have done with my fugrm-packages, I have written an abstract
controller that is overwriting the template path. So my layout template is
stored in the base package. The partials are free to use everywhere, but
you have to specifiy a longer path in the template. This way the second
package is using the layout from the base package. The navigation partial
for example is also from the base package.

The second package (the controller) is extending the abstract controller
from the base package and has the layout path from the base package.

Getting the correct repository shouldn't be a problem, no matter in which
package you are at the moment.

Just take a look at the following three links. I am not sure if this is
what you asked, but this is what I understood.

Here you can see how I overwrite the template pathes.

Here I extend the controller from the base package
https://gitorious.org/fugrm/fugrm-gallery/blobs/master/Classes/Controller/GalleryController.php

Here I use the full pathes to the partial. If you do it this way, you have
also to define the package when you include you css and js in the layout
file.

There is always a initialize<yourActionName>Action for each of your action.
I guess in your case it would be nice to also initialize the view depending
on the current action, but I can not find something like that in the FLOW3
action controller.

Hope this helps or did I completely misunderstood your question?

Greetings,
Thomas
