A package for all things users and groups related (specific to plone)

Project description

Introduction

This package provide the registration form for new users using z3c.form forms. It allows the site administrator to select fields from a schema to appear on the registration form.

Overriding / extending the default schema

Thanks to FormExtenders, the form can be manipulated in many ways. The following example is from collective.examples.userdata, see there for more information.

Overriding userdata form fields

We can register a IFormExtender to add fields and modify the form. First register it in the ZCML:

<adapter
  factory="my.customschemachema.UserDataPanelExtender"
  provides="plone.z3cform.fieldsets.interfaces.IFormExtender" />

Where the customschemachema.py contains:

from zope.publisher.interfaces.browser import IDefaultBrowserLayer
from zope.component import adapter
from zope.interface import Interface

from z3c.form.field import Fields

from plone.app.users.browser.userdatapanel import UserDataPanel
from plone.supermodel import model
from plone.z3cform.fieldsets import extensible


class IEnhancedUserDataSchema(model.Schema):
    . . . all the custom fields to add . . .


@adapter(Interface, IDefaultBrowserLayer, UserDataPanel)
class UserDataPanelExtender(extensible.FormExtender):
    def update(self):
        fields = Fields(
            IEnhancedUserDataSchema,
            prefix="IEnhancedUserDataSchema")
        self.add(fields)

Storing / retreiving custom fields

To store the values alongside default fields, we need to add fields to profiles/default/memberdata_properties.xml. For example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_memberdata" meta_type="Plone Memberdata Tool">
  <property name="country" type="string"></property>
</object>

Before values can be read and written, there needs to be a data manager to fetch the values. The default manager will read/write any field defined in the schema, so most of the work is done for you:

from plone.app.users.browser.account import AccountPanelSchemaAdapter

class EnhancedUserDataSchemaAdapter(AccountPanelSchemaAdapter):
    schema = IEnhancedUserDataSchema

If you want to do something different, add a property for that field to override the default behavior.

Finally, register the data manager in ZCML:

<adapter
  provides="my.customschemachema.IEnhancedUserDataSchema"
  for="plone.app.layout.navigation.interfaces.INavigationRoot"
  factory=".adapter.EnhancedUserDataSchemaAdapter"
  />

For more information, see collective.examples.userdata.

CHANGES

2.2 (2015-03-13)

  • Read security settings from new Plone 5 registry. [jure]

  • Ported tests to plone.app.testing [gforcada, tomgross]

  • Adjust navigation markup for Plone 5. [davisagli]

  • Use email_from_address from registry (Plone 5) in tests. [khink]

2.1.0 (2014-10-23)

  • Check the permission for the Object tab on the AccountPanelForm as configured in ZCML. This allows to revoke access to individual forms by changing the permissions via ZCML overrides. [thet]

2.0.3 (2014-04-19)

  • Use correct timezone vocabulary in IPersonalPreferences schema. Wether the newer plone.app.vocabularies, the older plone.app.event one or none at all, depending on availability. [thet]

2.0.2 (2014-04-01)

  • More explicit ZCML package includes. At least, the inclusion of plone.formwidget.namedfile fixes a problem in Dexterity-less setups, where the @@personal-information form couldn’t be rendered because NamedBlobImage didn’t provide IFromUnicode. [thet]

2.0.1 (2014-03-02)

  • Fix packaging error. [esteele]

2.0 (2014-03-02)

  • Refactor the member-search form to a browser view, using z3c.form. [pabo3000]

  • Have a soft dependency on plone.app.event and include the timezone field only then in the schema, if plone.app.event is available. [thet]

  • Migrate plone.app.users to use z3c.form instead of zope.formlib. [lentinj, vipod, thet]

1.3a1 (unreleased)

  • Query ILoginNameGenerator utility to get a login name during registration. This makes it easier to override the default login name logic. Part of PLIP 13419. [maurits]

  • Query IUserIdGenerator utility to get a user id during registration. This makes it easier to override the default user id logic. Part of PLIP 13419. [maurits]

  • Support use_uuid_as_userid site property. Part of PLIP 13419. [maurits]

1.2a2 (unreleased)

  • Update tests. We now check if the user can add and delete the portrait himself. [tschanzt]

  • Added user timezone selection to user preferences and a dependency on plone.app.event for vocabulary for user timezone selection. [seanupton]

  • Fixed i18n of new_password field in change-password view. [vincentfretin]

  • Fix email as login validation in the personalize form (UserDataPanel). This is for the case when email is used as login. It checked that a changed email address was valid as user id. But the user id is never changed here, only the login name. We only need to check if this address is not used by another user. [maurits]

  • Fix to not break if passwords contain non-ASCII characters. This closes https://dev.plone.org/ticket/13114 [davisagli]

  • Ensure links on user preference panes adhere to navigation root. Fixes https://dev.plone.org/ticket/11909. [davidjb]

  • Unused field “Listed in searches” removed from Personal Preferences. [kleist]

  • Be consistent in using INavigationRoot. (Backport from 1.1.4) [do3cc]

1.2a1 (2012-06-29)

  • Avoid direct zope.app.form dependency. [hannosch]

  • Support redirecting to a URL specified in the ‘came_from’ query string parameter following registration. [davisagli]

  • support a PAS plugin for validating passwords see http://dev.plone.org/ticket/10959

1.1.3 (2012-01-04)

1.1.2 (2011-08-23)

1.1.1 - 2011-06-02

1.1 - 2011-04-03

  • Include plone.app.controlpanel configure.zcml because we use permissions defined in this package. [vincentfretin]

  • Use portal object instead of self.context in AddUserForm so we can easily subclass the class for another context. [vincentfretin]

1.1b2 - 2011-03-02

  • Fixed test of the default user portrait, which changed from defaultUser.gif to defaultUser.png in Products.PlonePAS 4.0.5. [maurits]

1.1b1 - 2011-01-03

  • Depend on Products.CMFPlone instead of Plone. [elro]

  • Don’t allow non-Managers to add new users to groups that grant the Manager role. [davisagli]

  • Protect the user management forms with the “Plone Site Setup: Users and Groups” permission instead of the generic “Manage portal” and “Manage users”. This requires plone.app.controlpanel >= 2.1b1. [davisagli]

1.0.5 - 2011-06-02

1.0.4 - 2011-02-25

  • Fixed test of the default user portrait, which changed from defaultUser.gif to defaultUser.png in Products.PlonePAS 4.0.5. [maurits]

1.0.3 - 2011-01-03

  • Don’t assume that fields in the user schema will be saved in property sheets when a new user registers. Instead, adapt the navigation root to the user schema to get the same adapter as is used on the Personal Information form, and use it to save the values from the registration form. [davisagli]

  • Fixed critical error on add user page when some groups have a non-ascii character in their title. Sort groups on their title normalized. Token and value in terms in the groups vocabulary were switched. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/11316 [thomasdesvenain, vincentfretin, davisagli]

1.0.2 - 2010-11-24

  • Don’t use a custom widget just to set the description of the fullname field, which should be set on the field itself. [davisagli]

1.0.1 - 2010-07-18

  • Added missing i18n:domain plone in user information template which prevented some translations from showing up. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10744 [maurits]

  • Update license to GPL version 2 only. [hannosch]

  • Fix @@user-information to correctly get/set and delete the portrait for the given userid. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10731. [mr_savage]

1.0b9 - 2010-06-13

  • Avoid deprecation warnings under Zope 2.13. [hannosch]

  • Use the standard libraries doctest module. [hannosch]

  • Use five.formlib. [hannosch]

  • Retrieve properties as unicode even if they are already stored that way. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10509 [davisagli]

  • When the user_registration_fields property is not there, fall back to an empty list; this avoids a TypeError on the registration form. [maurits]

1.0b8 - 2010-06-03

1.0b7 - 2010-05-01

  • Handle encoded strings returned by PlonePAS. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10447 [esteele]

  • Remove unused memberdetails.py [esteele]

  • Pin user preferences forms to INavigationRoot instead of ISiteRoot. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/10439 [esteele]

  • Added configlet forms that inherit from personal preferences and personal information. These forms are used when editing user prefs from ‘User and groups’ in site setup. [kcleong]

  • Make the password field optional for the admin when instead an email can be sent. [maurits]

  • On the anonymous registration form, do not offer to send an email with a link to reset your password if the password fields are right there on the form already; we were never actually sending emails with the plain password itself anyway. [maurits]

  • Allow admins to register a user at all times, also without valid mailhost settings. This means that in a fresh Plone site you can create user accounts immediately without having to edit any settings. [maurits]

  • Fixed bad use of i18n markup in joinform.py. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9773 [vincentfretin]

  • Renamed label_groups to label_add_to_groups in joinform.py [vincentfretin]
