Hi,
I have a number of classes, each of which should inherit from a related superclass in another module:
class A(Super.A):
...
class B(Super.B):
...
class C(Super.C):
...
Is there a way to dynamically determine the value of Super at runtime? Background: Depending on certain object attributes which are set during the object initialization, I need to use a different set of templates for the respective object.
Example: If a page object belongs to site A, it needs to inherit from the template class SiteA.Page, a gallery object belonging to site B should inherit from SiteB.Gallery etc.
The problem is that the template classes are not self contained, i.e. SiteB.Gallery inherits from SiteB.List, SiteB.Base etc.
Thanks in advance,
Jan
