This is a solved problem. I recently ported the collective.dynatree widget to z3c.form (for use with dexterity types). https://github.com/syslabcom/collective.dynatree/commits/master I also had to create an ITreeVocabulary for zope.schema to make the dynatree widget work: http://svn.zope.org/zope.schema/trunk/src/zope/schema/vocabulary.py?rev=125654&view=markup JC _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list product-develop...@lists.plone.org https://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plone-product-developers
