I am using the cms Plone to build a form that contains two other schemas.
With the Group Forms, I have been able to include both of the fields of the two schemas. However, they lose all of their properties such as hidden or when I use datagridfield to build the table. What I want to be able to do is have both of these forms with their fields and on a save be able to save them in the object which the link was clicked as parent -> object 1 [top of the form] -> object 2 [bottom of the form]
Here is my python code:
class QuestionPart(group.Group):
label = u'Question Part'
fields = field.Fields(IQuestionPart)
template = ViewPageTemplateFile('questionpart_templates/view.pt')
class Question(group.Group):
label = u'Question'
fields = field.Fields(IQuestion)
template = ViewPageTemplateFile('question_templates/view.pt')
class QuestionSinglePart(group.GroupForm, form.AddForm):
grok.name('register')
grok.require('zope2.View')
grok.context(ISiteRoot)
label = u"Question with Single Part"
ignoreContext = True
enable_form_tabbing = False
groups = (Question,QuestionPart)
def update(self):
super(QuestionSinglePart, self).update()
This code displays both the fields of IQuestion, IQuestionPart without the regard to things like: form.mode(contype='hidden') or DataGridField widget. I found a way that displays the correct form with field hints.
class QuestionSinglePart(AutoExtensibleForm, form.AddForm):
grok.require('zope2.View')
grok.context(ISiteRoot)
label = u"Question"
schema = IQuestion
additionalSchemata = (IQuestionPart,)
I feel I am still a long way off. I have talked to some people. I am now trying to use a separate form and view.
So far, I am at this point with my code:
class QuestionSinglePartForm(AutoExtensibleForm, form.Form):
ignoreContext = True
autoGroups = True
template = ViewPageTemplateFile('questionsinglepart_templates/questionsinglepartform.pt')
@property
def additionalSchemata(self):
return self._additionalSchemata
def __init__(self, context, request, schema, additional=()):
self.context = context
self.request = request
if not IInterface.providedBy(schema):
raise ValueError('Schema is not interface object')
self._schema = schema
if not all(IInterface.providedBy(s) for s in additional):
raise ValueError('Additional schema is not interface')
self._additionalSchemata = additional
class QuestionSinglePartView(object):
schema = IQuestion
additional = (IQuestionPart,)
def __init__(self, context, request):
self.context = context
self.request = request
self.form = QuestionSinglePartForm(context, request, self.schema, self.additional)
def magic(self, data, errors):
pass
"""
question = Question()
question.number = data['number']
question.questionContent = data['questionContent']
questionPart = QuestionPart()
questionPart.typeOfQuestion = data['IQuestionPart.typeOfQuestion']

questionPart.fileSize = data['IQuestionPart.fileSize']

questionPart.table = data['IQuestionPart.table']

"""
def update(self, *args, **kwargs):
if self.request.get('REQUEST_METHOD') == 'POST':
data, errors = self.form.extractData()
self.magic(data, errors)
self.formdisplay = self.form.render()
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.update(*args, **kwargs)
return self.index(*args, **kwargs)
I am struggling with the rendering of the form and that the QuestionSinglePart object does not have an index attribute.
After a couple of hours of working with some plone devs, we have figured out what was going on.
I had left out:
@property
def schema(self):
return self._schema
I needed to define an index in the view like so:
index = ViewPageTemplateFile('questionsinglepart_templates/questionsinglepart.pt')
I needed to add this to the views init:
alsoProvides(self.form, IWrappedForm)
In the update method for view I needed to call this before the formdisplay. I could also remove the data extraction and move that to the form.
def update(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.form.update(*args, **kwargs)
self.formdisplay = self.form.render()
I am still currently working to get the data to save into objects.
Here is my final code with the changes made above. There were issues with the index for the object. I needed to create a simple custom view. I forgot the property for schema on the form. I need to changed my update method for the view as well.
class QuestionSinglePartForm(AutoExtensibleForm, form.Form):
ignoreContext = True
autoGroups = False
@property
def schema(self):
return self._schema
@property
def additionalSchemata(self):
return self._additionalSchemata
def __init__(self, context, request, schema, additional=()):
self.context = context
self.request = request
if not IInterface.providedBy(schema):
raise ValueError('Schema is not interface object')
self._schema = schema
if not all(IInterface.providedBy(s) for s in additional):
raise ValueError('Additional schema is not interface')
self._additionalSchemata = additional
@button.buttonAndHandler(u'Save')
def handleSave(self, action):
data, errors = self.extractData()
if errors:
return False
obj = self.createAndAdd(data)
if obj is not None:
# mark only as finished if we get the new object
self._finishedAdd = True
IStatusMessage(self.request).addStatusMessage(_(u"Changes saved"), "info")
print data
@button.buttonAndHandler(u'Cancel')
def handleCancel(self, action):
print 'cancel'

schema = IQuestion
additional = (IQuestionPart,)
