Life, the Universe, and Everything
----------------------------------

A widget package for Dexterity projects.

.. Warning::
This package will no longer be actively maintained.
Take a look at `plone.app.widgets`_ for an alternative set of widgets.

collective.z3cform.widgets provides the following widgets:

**EnhancedTextLinesFieldWidget**
This widget is an ajaxified version of the TextLinesFieldWidget that will
allow creation, sort, update and deletion of text lines; degrades to
<textarea> if JavaScript is not enabled.

:align: center
:height: 143px
:width: 600px

This widget uses the `jQuery TaskPlease`_ plugin.

**TokenInputFieldWidget**
TokenInputFieldWidget allows your users to select multiple items from
portal Subjects list , using autocompletion as they type to find each
item. You may have seen a similar type of text entry when filling in the
recipients field sending messages on `Facebook`_. This widget will degrade
to <textarea> if JavaScript is not enabled.

.. image:: https://github.com/collective/collective.z3cform.widgets/raw/master/tokeninput.png
:align: center
:height: 110px
:width: 600px

This widget uses the `jQuery Tokeninput`_ plugin.

If you install collective.z3cform.widgets in a Plone site it will replace
every ICategorization subjects field's widget of any Dexterity-based
content type with this one.

**MultiContentSearchFieldWidget**
A widget to add a dynamic list of objects. This works as a widget for
related items field so it must be used like this:

.. code-block::

relatedItems = RelationList(
title=_(u'label_related_items', default=u'Related Items'),
default=[],
value_type=RelationChoice(title=u"Related",
source=ObjPathSourceBinder(portal_type='Document')),
required=False,
)
form.widget(relatedItems=MultiContentSearchFieldWidget)

The parameters passed to the ObjPathSourceBinder class are used to filter
the search of elements to relate to. If no parameters are passed, a tree
structure is shown in the widget.

**SimpleRichTextWidget**
A lightweight and unbloated Rich Text Editor (RTE / WYSIWYG). These
parameters can be configured::

'iframe_height': height in pixels,
'format_block': 'true' or 'false',
'bold': 'true' or 'false',
'italic': 'true' or 'false',
'unordered_list': 'true' or 'false',
'link': 'true' or 'false',
'image': 'true' or 'false',
'allow_disable': 'true' or 'false'

This widget uses the `jQuery RTE`_ plugin.
