horae.datetime 1.0a1

zope.formlib datetime widget used by Horae

Introduction

horae.datetime provides zope.formlib input widgets for Date and Datetime fields of zope.schema. Both widgets use the datepicker widget of jQuery UI to select the date. The Datetime widget additionally provides two input fields to enter the hour and minute for the time. The hour and minute fields are enhanced by the Spinbox jQuery plugin.

Usage

The widgets may either be registered through ZCML as new default input widgets for Date and Datetime fields or by defining the widget as custom_widget on a zope.formlib form. Registration as default widget has to be done either in an overrides.zcml or the registrations have to be bound to a specific browser layer.

Registration using the overrides.zcml would look like this:

<configure xmlns='http://namespaces.zope.org/zope'>

  <view
      type="zope.publisher.interfaces.browser.IBrowserRequest"
      for="zope.schema.interfaces.IDatetime"
      provides="zope.app.form.interfaces.IInputWidget"
      factory="horae.datetime.widget.DatetimeWidget"
      permission="zope.Public"
      />

  <view
      type="zope.publisher.interfaces.browser.IBrowserRequest"
      for="zope.schema.interfaces.IDate"
      provides="zope.app.form.interfaces.IInputWidget"
      factory="horae.datetime.widget.DateWidget"
      permission="zope.Public"
      />

</configure>
