Implement ajax action as browser view
An ajax action can be implemented as simple browser view. The easiest way is to render a template only. Create template tile_a.pt:
<div xmlns:ajax="http://namesspaces.bluedynamics.eu/ajax" tal:omit-tag="">
<!-- the tile -->
<div class="tile_a"
style="background-color:#ffc261;">
<h3>I am tile A</h3>
<!-- perform action directly. here we render tile_b, see below -->
<a href=""
ajax:bind="click"
ajax:action="bdajax_example_tile_b:.tile_a:replace"
ajax:target=""
tal:attributes="ajax:target context/absolute_url">alter me</a>
</div>
</div>
Configure via ZCML:
<browser:page for="*" name="bdajax_example_tile_a" template="tile_a.pt" permission="zope2.View" />
Implement ajax action as content provider
Create a template tile_b.pt containing the markup:
<div xmlns:ajax="http://namesspaces.bluedynamics.eu/ajax" tal:omit-tag="">
<!-- bind custom event to tile, perform action if event triggered -->
<!-- when event gets triggered, tile_a gets rendered, see above -->
<div class="tile_b"
style="background-color:#61ff68;"
ajax:bind="altertile"
ajax:action="bdajax_example_tile_a:.tile_b:replace">
<h3>I am tile B</h3>
<!-- bind element to click event and trigger custom event -->
<a href=""
ajax:bind="click"
ajax:event="altertile:.tile_b"
ajax:target=""
tal:attributes="ajax:target context/absolute_url">alter me</a>
</div>
</div>
Create content provider in provider.py:
from Acquisition import Explicit
from zope.interface import (
Interface,
implementer,
)
from zope.component import adapter
from zope.publisher.interfaces.browser import (
IBrowserRequest,
IBrowserView,
)
from zope.contentprovider.interfaces import IContentProvider
from Products.Five.browser.pagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile
from bda.plone.ajax import ajax_message
@implementer(IContentProvider)
@adapter(Interface, IBrowserRequest, IBrowserView)
class Provider(Explicit):
template = ViewPageTemplateFile(u'tile_b.pt')
def __init__(self, context, request, view):
self.__parent__ = view
self.context = context
self.request = request
def update(self):
pass
def render(self):
# set here continuation message. See bda.plone.ajax.__init__ for
# details.
ajax_message(self.request, 'Demo continuation message', flavor='info')
return self.template(self)
Configure provider via ZCML:
<adapter name="bdajax_example_tile_b" provides="zope.contentprovider.interfaces.IContentProvider" factory=".provider.Provider" />
Implement a wrapper view
The two ajax action rendering snippets above each render a tile only. now we need to wrap this inside a plone view. Create template ploneview.pt:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
lang="en"
metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master">
<body>
<metal:main fill-slot="main">
<tal:main-macro metal:define-macro="main">
<tal:tile replace="structure context/@@bdajax_example_tile_a" />
</tal:main-macro>
</metal:main>
</body>
</html>
And register via ZCML:
<browser:page for="*" name="bdajax_example_view" template="ploneview.pt" permission="zope2.View" />
Now start instance and navigate to @@bdajax_example_view. You get initially tile a rendered switching to tile b on click and vise versa. This code equates the one contained in examples folder.
Implement an ajax form
Create a view which renders a form.
Create template named ajaxform.pt. The attribute ajax:form tells bdajax to handle this form:
<form xmlns:ajax="http://namesspaces.bluedynamics.eu/ajax"
id="example_ajaxform"
method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
ajax:form="True"
tal:define="error view/error"
tal:attributes="action view/form_action">
<label for="field">Field</label>
<div tal:condition="error"
tal:content="error"
style="font-weight:bold;color:red;">
Error Text
</div>
<input type="text"
name="field"
tal:attributes="value view/value" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Create the view class:
from Products.Five import BrowserView
from bda.plone.ajax import ajax_continue
from bda.plone.ajax import ajax_form_fiddle
from bda.plone.ajax import AjaxMessage
class AjaxForm(BrowserView):
@property
def form_action(self):
return 'ajaxform?form_name=bdajax_example_form'
@property
def submitted(self):
return 'field' in self.request.form
@property
def error(self):
if not self.submitted:
return
if not self.request.form['field']:
return u'Field must not be empty'
@property
def value(self):
return self.request.form.get('field')
def __call__(self):
if self.submitted and not self.error:
ajax_continue(self.request, AjaxMessage('Success!', 'info', None))
return super(AjaxForm, self).__call__()
Register view via ZCML:
<browser:page for="*" name="bdajax_example_form" class=".AjaxForm" template="ajaxform.pt" permission="zope2.View" />
Create wrapper view for form named ajaxformview.pt:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
lang="en"
metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master">
<body>
<metal:main fill-slot="main">
<tal:main-macro metal:define-macro="main">
<tal:tile replace="structure context/@@bdajax_example_form" />
</tal:main-macro>
</metal:main>
</body>
</html>
And register via ZCML:
<browser:page for="*" name="bdajax_example_form_view" template="ajaxformview.pt" permission="zope2.View" />
Now start instance and navigate to @@bdajax_example_form_view.
Implement ajax batch
Create a batch implementation in python, i.e. examplebatch.py calculating batch vocab:
from Products.Five import BrowserView
from bda.plone.ajax.batch import Batch
RESULTLEN = 45
SLICESIZE = 10
class ExampleBatch(Batch):
batchname = 'examplebatch'
@property
def vocab(self):
ret = list()
# len result
count = RESULTLEN
# entries per page
slicesize = SLICESIZE
# number of batch pages
pages = count / slicesize
if count % slicesize != 0:
pages += 1
# current batch page
current = self.request.get('b_page', '0')
for i in range(pages):
# create query with page number
query = 'b_page=%s' % str(i)
# create batch target url
url = '%s?%s' % (self.context.absolute_url(), query)
# append batch page
ret.append({
'page': '%i' % (i + 1),
'current': current == str(i),
'visible': True,
'url': url,
})
return ret
Create batched result view:
class BatchedResult(BrowserView):
@property
def batch(self):
return ExampleBatch(self.context, self.request)()
@property
def slice(self):
result = range(RESULTLEN)
current = int(self.request.get('b_page', '0'))
start = current * SLICESIZE
end = start + SLICESIZE
return result[start:end]
Create batched result template, i.e. batchedresult.pt:
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en"
xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
i18n:domain="bda.plone.ajax"
class="examplebatchsensitiv"
ajax:bind="batchclicked"
tal:attributes="ajax:target context/absolute_url;
ajax:action string:bdajax_example_batched_result:.examplebatchsensitiv:replace">
<tal:listingbatch replace="structure view/batch" />
<ul>
<li tal:repeat="item view/slice" tal:content="item">x</li>
</ul>
<tal:listingbatch replace="structure view/batch" />
</div>
Create wrapper view, i.e. batchview.pt:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
lang="en"
metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master"
i18n:domain="bda.plone.ajax">
<body>
<metal:main fill-slot="main">
<tal:main-macro metal:define-macro="main">
<tal:tile replace="structure context/@@bdajax_example_batched_result" />
</tal:main-macro>
</metal:main>
</body>
</html>
And register views via ZCML:
<browser:page for="*" name="bdajax_example_batch" template="batchview.pt" permission="zope2.View" /> <browser:page for="*" name="bdajax_example_batched_result" class=".examplebatch.BatchedResult" template="batchedresult.pt" permission="zope2.View" />
Now start instance and navigate to @@bdajax_example_batch. You get an example result rendered batched. This code equates the one contained in examples folder.
