Rewriting of ATEngageVideo index_html - Plumi homepage

[trollfot]

I had a look at the template present in ATEngageVideo skins, called "index_html" and that is used as a homepage on a Plumi site. It needs a deep cleaning ! The template is too long, and contains too much logic. It does catalog requests and so on. It's not acceptable anymore. It slows down the display and is not humanly readable.

I rewrote the whole page but I had no way to test it. Andy, could you please allow me to restart the zope and place me admin at the zope root ? That would help me in the low level development.

For now, the code lies in : .../ATVideo/trollfot_adds_to_move/. There's a browser view and a template. The view is called "atengagevideo_homepage" and is only callable on the portal root.

I think there should be some html makeover. I changed some markups, already. If possible, I'll change a bit the page structure and modify the CSS accordingly.

The page is actually working. I've been testing it today and changed some stuff. Next step is to move it from its historical place in ATVideo. I think its place is in the plumiskin product. Then, we'll be able to make the design of the page evolve to something a bit more maintainable, with probably several views gathered in one.

We can consider this ticket as closed. Still, there is work to make the homepage perfect. But, the actual one is clean and working.
