collective.dynatree 1.3.2

jquery.dynatree.js integration for Plone

Dynamic Tree-Widget for Plone

collective.dynatree provides the basic integration of the jQuery plugin jquery.dynatree.js (at google-code).

Optional it also provides a full-featured Archetypes Widget with full ATVocabularyManager support, including hierachical VDEX-vocabularies.

Installation

Just depend in your buildout on the egg collective.dynatree. ZCML is loaded automagically if z3c.autoinclude is available (default since Plone >=3.3).

Install it as an addon in Plone control-panel or portal_setup.

Usage

Plain Dynatree

This package only provides and registers the javascript in the site. Addon developers can use it then in their own templates. Please refer to the original documentation for usage of jquery.dynatree.js.

Archetypes Widget

The widget is meant to be used on a StringField (single selection) or on a LinesField (multi selection).

Example

StringField('single_leafs',
    required=0,
    vocabulary=NamedVocabulary('some_atvm_tree_vocabulary'),
    widget=DynatreeWidget(
        description="Select one option of tree. Only leafs allowed",
        leafsOnly=True,
        selectMode=1),
),
LinesField('multiple_all',
    required=0,
    vocabulary=NamedVocabulary('another_atvm_tree_vocabulary'),
    widget=DynatreeWidget(
        description="""Select multiple options of the tree. All selectable.
                       Starts with 2 levels expanded.""",
        selectMode=3,
        minExpandLevel=2),
),

Widget Parameters

(additional to the usal suspects of TypesWidget)

selectMode

1=single, 2=multiple

minExpandLevel

Number of levels which are not allowed to collapse; default=0.

rootVisible

Wether a root node should be showed or not; default=False.

autoCollapse

Automatically collapse all siblings, when a node is expanded; default=False.

leafsOnly

Wether to select only leafs or allow also to select nodes with leafs; default=False.

showKey

To show the terms key in front of the terms value set this to a format string like "%s: %s"; default=None.

Example-ContentType

An example ContentType is provided, but disabled by default. To enable it add collective.dynatree[example] to both, the eggs and zcml section in your buildout. Rerun buildout, restart Plone and install the jquery.dynatree EXAMPLE Content Types as an add-on product.
