template_id vs action id with Five views

[Andreas Jung]

For highlighting the current action plone compares the action id with
the template_id. Unfortunately Five browser:pages used as view behind
an action always have 'index' as template_id. Any idea how to  get around
this issue (Plone 2.1.3)?

When I've neded, this I explicitly defined a template_id in my
template, which is lame but works.  Plone should really be looking at
the url instead of template_id, and will do so in 2.5 (hopefully).

Probably something that should be reported in the tracker for 2.5, where  
we actually use the Z3 views.

Well, this isn't an issue with views that are used *within* Plone
because most of the views we use are used by skin templates not in place
of them.  So that wouldn't really work as being a bug against Plone.

OTOH, I think a large group of us have felt that template_id is *not*
something that should be used for this sort of thing.  So the use of
template_id possibly should be bugged or plipped to add a good
replacement or something.

I think the complete problem is somewhat broader and the current
implementation of the highlighting code is flaky. Consider the usecase
where you want to use *multiple* template under the same action tab. E.g.
an import action consists of a template for some form and a template for
the import result..I have to think about what would be necessary to "tie"
multiple templates to the same tab.
