plone.formwidget.contenttree 1.0

AJAX selection widget for Plone

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.

Changelog

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]
