plone.formwidget.contenttree 1.0.7

Introduction
============

plone.formwidget.contenttree is a z3c.form widget for use with Plone. It
uses the jQuery Autocomplete widget, and has graceful fallback for non-
Javascript browsers.

There is a single-select version (AutocompleteSelectionFieldWidget) for
Choice fields, and a multi-select one (AutocompleteMultiSelectionFieldWidget)
for collection fields (e.g. List, Tuple) with a value_type of Choice.

When using this widget, the vocabulary/source has to provide the IQuerySource
interface from z3c.formwidget.query and have a search() method. The easiest
way to do this is generate one with one of:

* plone.formwidget.contenttree.PathSourceBinder(navigation_tree_query=None, **kw)
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.ObjPathSourceBinder(navigation_tree_query=None, **kw)
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.UUIDSourceBinder(navigation_tree_query=None, **kw)

Where ``navigation_tree_query`` is some restrictions that should be applied to
any Catalog query. The rest of the arguments are used to form a filter (see source.py).

``PathSourceBinder`` and ``ObjPathSourceBinder`` store the selected object's
path in the field value. This means that the link will be broken if the object
is moved. ``UUIDSourceBinder`` stores UUID references, so will handle pages
being moved.

If you do not want to filter the content tree whatsoever, there are some
pre-baked instances too:

* plone.formwidget.contenttree.path_src_binder
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.obj_path_src_binder
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.uuid_src_binder

Example Usage::

from zope.component import adapts
from zope.interface import Interface, implements
from zope import schema

from plone.z3cform import layout

from z3c.form import form, button, field

from plone.formwidget.contenttree import ContentTreeFieldWidget
from plone.formwidget.contenttree import MultiContentTreeFieldWidget
from plone.formwidget.contenttree import PathSourceBinder


class ITestForm(Interface):

buddy = schema.Choice(title=u"Buddy object",
description=u"Select one, please",
source=PathSourceBinder(portal_type='Document'))

friends = schema.List(
title=u"Friend objects",
description=u"Select as many as you want",
value_type=schema.Choice(
title=u"Selection",
source=PathSourceBinder(portal_type='Document')))


class TestAdapter(object):
implements(ITestForm)
adapts(Interface)

def __init__(self, context):
self.context = context

def _get_buddy(self):
return None
def _set_buddy(self, value):
print "setting", value
buddy = property(_get_buddy, _set_buddy)

def _get_friends(self):
return []
def _set_friends(self, value):
print "setting", value
friends = property(_get_friends, _set_friends)


class TestForm(form.Form):
fields = field.Fields(ITestForm)
fields['buddy'].widgetFactory = ContentTreeFieldWidget
fields['friends'].widgetFactory = MultiContentTreeFieldWidget
# To check display mode still works, uncomment this and hit refresh.
#mode = 'display'

@button.buttonAndHandler(u'Ok')
def handle_ok(self, action):
data, errors = self.extractData()
print data, errors

TestView = layout.wrap_form(TestForm)

[maurits]

1.0.5 (2012-02-20)
------------------

* Added Spanish translation
[hvelarde]

1.0.4 (2011-10-04)
------------------

* fix _getBrainByValue to check if value is traversable
first so we can provide the correct token.
[vangheem]

1.0.3 (2011-09-24)
------------------

* Add zh_CN translation.
[jianaijun]

1.0.2 (2011-07-02)
------------------

* Fix regression that broke the browsing with JQuery < 1.4.
[davisagli]

1.0.1 (2011-05-16)
------------------

* Make placeholder terms for hidden / missing items, so that you can still see
something in the editing interface and not accidentally remove them. Ideally
we should say if a page is invisible or missing, but not today.
[lentinj]

* Use javascript function from plone.formwidget.autocomplete to add new input
boxes, make javascript as clone-safe (when making new rows in datagridfield)
as possible
[lentinj]

* Just use full widget name in ++widget++ URL, don't try and strip form prefix
off. If within a subform, this is the wrong thing to do and the traverser now
supports stripping the initial 'form.widgets'
[lentinj]

* Workaround for sources being used without being bound first.
[lentinj]

* Check the request for context before falling back to getSite()
[lentinj]

* Add a UUIDSource that stores plone.uuid pointers to content.
[lentinj]

* Use tokens as full URL of content, move all token<->value operations into the
source. Rename methods so that actually-public methods have public names
[lentinj]

* Alter terms so that token is the full path to an item, value is the path
without portal_url that is stored in the DB. This means all the path parsing
can be kept within the source.
[lentinj]

* _filter is used outside the source, so not an internal helper function
anymore.
[lentinj]

1.0 (2011-04-30)
----------------

* Made compatible with Plone 4.1 by loading the permissions.zcml from
Products.CMFCore (only when plone.app.upgrade is available, to keep
compatibility with Plone 3, if we currently have that).
[maurits]

* Improved CSS for selected items to make them more evident in the Sunburst
theme.
[davisagli]

* Add content type CSS class to items in the navtree so that icons are shown
in Plone 4.
[davisagli]

1.0b3 (2011-02-11)
------------------

* Use `zope.i18n.translate` instead of translation_service, since
translation_service was removed in plone4.
[jbaumann]


1.0b2 (2010-08-25)
------------------

* Fall back to the site to perform content-related operations if the
context is not wrapped into an acquisition chain.
[dukebody]

* Compute the view name as the request URL left-stripped the content
absolute URL.
[dukebody]

* Make it possible to restrict the field to objects below a path
The constructor of ObjPathSource takes a path keyword argument
with a PathIndex catalog query. This argument filters objects
outside of this path. If the navigation_tree_query does not have
a path argument, the path is also copied into this query.
[gaudenzius]

* Update widget in the contenttree-fetch browser view
The widget.update() call rebinds to source which previously
was only bound during traversal. This avoids problems with
sources that only work after security is applied.
[gaudenzius]


1.0b1 - 2010-04-19
------------------

* Adjusted styles so the widget looks reasonable with Plone 4's sunburst theme.
[davisagli]

* Fix icons in CMF 2.2. This closes
http://code.google.com/p/dexterity/issues/detail?id=111
[davisagli]

* Make the widget work properly on Zope 2.12
[optilude]

* Add a template for HIDDEN_MODE.
[csenger]

* Convert all strings in a new navtree node into unicode using the site
encoding to render non-ascii characters in the widget.
[csenger]

* Added message IDs for translations and added locales directory with
german translations.
[jbaumann]

1.0a5 - 2009-08-02
------------------

* Don't filter children of non-queriable parent types (e.g. Large Plone
Folders).
[optilude]

1.0a3 - 2009-07-12

z-indexes.
