visaplan.zope.inputmacros 0.1.0.dev1

Generic METAL macros for input fields

Generic METAL macros for input fields

This package uses the TAL / METAL XML-based template language introduced by Zope to provide simple input fields from Python dictionaries, without any connection to schema data whatsoever.

Features

• Forms built by div or table elements

• readonly fields

• required fields

• labels

Examples

This add-on is currently under development and not yet used on public internet sites.

Documentation

After installing, you may try the views

• formfields_div

• formfields_table

in your Zope instance; the macros are “self-documenting”.

Note: Currently it helps to understand German; those views are not (yet?) internationalized.

Installation

Install visaplan.zope.inputmacros by adding it to your buildout:

[buildout]

...

eggs =
    visaplan.zope.inputmacros

and then running bin/buildout

Requirements

You’ll need a language interpreter as well; this will be given in default Zope / Plone installations. We don’t specify this here to allow you to choose your own.

Starting with Plone 5, Chameleon is used; please use this for from-scratch use, and tell us about any problems you might suffer (since we didn’t try yet ourselves.)
