z3c.form looks very well thought and extremely customizable, but I find it
complicated for some common and simple cases. Does someone have any simple
example apart from z3c.formdemo, to get the same result as the
ListSequenceWidget and the ObjectWidget in the formlib?
1- The first thing I'm trying to create is a form for a
List(value_type=TextLine) field.
Yep, this is a good one. When we originally wrote all the widgets, we simply
forgot this one. I would welcome a patch. I think you could do much better
though and easily come up with a widget that can handle several value types
at once, i.e. by using the sub-form framework.
I also think that once you have such a list widget, you can also easily do one
for Dict with simple key and value types.
2- Then I'm trying to create a form for a single Object field. I've
understood that this case should be handled by a subform. So I could create
such a thing by using a template for the main form, and a subtemplate for
the subform. But then, I've begun using z3c.formui to have a better
template for the main form, but now how do I display the subform in the
div-based formui template?
This was my problem too. :-) Getting this generically right for a div-based
layout is pretty difficult, especially for my CSS skills.
BTW, I am open to include an object widget implementation in z3c.form, but I
want to review the code, since I want the object factory selection to be very
clean. I could advice anyone interested in doing this work.
thanks for your answers.
The real final thing I'm trying to do is just a form for a
List(value_type=Object(schema=IStuff),
with IStuff being just made of 3 TextLine fields.
Doing this is quite easy with the formlib, or maybe I got used to it, but
I'd really like to be able to do all the same things with z3c.form
I think you know enough about z3c.form to implement the widgets. Would you
want to do that?
I first need to be sure I'm understanding the whole form framework, then I will
surely try to implement something because I will increasingly need this kind of
widgets. I also don't like to see components or widgets scattered into many
packages, and it would be better to have most fonctionalities in a single
framework. For instance, I'm wondering why z3c.formui is not z3c.form.ui (or
z3c.form.template).
However the immediate thing I'll do now is just go to sleep :)
