Products.TemplateFields 1.2

Supplies an Archetypes field useful for editing and storing Zope Page Templates

This product provides two Archetype fields that store and render templates. There’s the DTMLField for DTML templates and the ZPTField for ZPT templates.

Usage

1. Install as usual in your Products directory or as an egg.

2. Add this line to your custom Archetype to import the fields:

   from Products.TemplateFields import DTMLField, ZPTField

3. In your schema, add DTMLFields and ZPTFields like this:

   BaseSchema + Schema(( ...
       DTMLField('oneField'),
       ZPTField('anotherField'),
       ...
   ))

Changelog

1.2

• Add a configurable option to swallow errors generated while rendering a template field. These errors were problematic since they break catalog indexing of the object, resulting in site errors. [wichert]

1.1.3

• Make sure to use a page template with acquisition context when validating fields. Without this context variables such as context and here were not available. [wichert]

• Cleanup REST syntax in the documentation and add a changelog. [wichert]
