A ready to go layer for Zope3

Project description

This package provides a layer based on z3c.form and z3c.pagelet. This layer can be used in custom skins.

Ready-2-Go Layer for Zope 3

This package contains the ready2go layer. This layer supports a correct set of component registration and can be used for inheritation in custom skins.

Important

This layer supports the z3c.pagelet and the z3c.form pattern. This means every page e.g. the error page is based on the z3c.pagelet concept. By default we use the <div>-based layout for z3c forms.

IReady2GoBrowserLayer Layer

The ready2go layer is useful for build custom presentation skins without access to ZMI menus like zmi_views etc. This means there is no menu item registred if you use this layer.

For more information about what this layer offers, see z3c.layer.pagelet.

Testing

For testing the IReady2GoBrowserLayer layer we use the testing skin defined in the tests package which uses the IReady2GoBrowserLayer layer as the only base layer. This means, that our testing skin provides only the views defined in the minimal package and it’s testing views defined in tests.

Login as manager first:

>>> from zope.testbrowser.testing import Browser
>>> manager = Browser()
>>> manager.addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic mgr:mgrpw')

Check if we can access the page.html view which is registred in the ftesting.zcml file with our skin:

>>> manager = Browser()
>>> manager.addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic mgr:mgrpw')
>>> skinURL = 'http://localhost/++skin++Ready2GoTestSkin'
>>> manager.open(skinURL + '/page.html')
>>> manager.url
'http://localhost/++skin++Ready2GoTestSkin/page.html'

Pagelet support

Check if we can access the test page given from the z3c.layer.pagelet ftesting.zcml configuration.

>>> print manager.contents
<!DOCTYPE...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>PageletTestLayout</title>
</head>
<body>
  test page
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>
<BLANKLINE>

Now check the not found page which is a exception view on the exception zope.publisher.interfaces.INotFound:

>>> manager.open(skinURL + '/foobar.html')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
>>> print manager.contents
<!DOCTYPE...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>PageletTestLayout</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
  <br />
  <br />
  <h3>
    The page you are trying to access is not available
  </h3>
  <br />
  <b>
    Please try the following:
  </b>
  <br />
  <ol>
    <li>
      Make sure that the Web site address is spelled correctly.
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:history.back(1);">
        Go back and try another URL.
      </a>
    </li>
  </ol>
</div>
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>
<BLANKLINE>

And check the user error page which is a view registred for zope.exceptions.interfaces.IUserError exceptions:

>>> manager.open(skinURL + '/@@usererror.html')
>>> print manager.contents
<!DOCTYPE ...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>PageletTestLayout</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
  <div>simply user error</div>
</div>
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>
<BLANKLINE>

And check error view registred for zope.interface.common.interfaces.IException:

>>> manager.open(skinURL + '/@@systemerror.html')
>>> print manager.contents
<!DOCTYPE...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>PageletTestLayout</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
  <br />
  <br />
  <h3>A system error occurred</h3>
  <br />
  <b>Please contact the administrator.</b>
  <a href="javascript:history.back(1);">
    Go back and try another URL.
  </a>
</div>
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>
<BLANKLINE>

And check the zope.security.interfaces.IUnauthorized view, use a new unregistred user (test browser) for this:

>>> unauthorized = Browser()
>>> unauthorized.open(skinURL + '/@@forbidden.html')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
>>> print unauthorized.contents
<!DOCTYPE ...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>PageletTestLayout</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
  <br />
  <br />
  <h3>Unauthorized</h3>
  <br />
  <b>You are not authorized.</b>
</div>
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>
<BLANKLINE>

Form and form layout support

This layer offers also form macros given from z3c.formui. Let’s create a simple form:

>>> from z3c.form import testing
>>> testing.setupFormDefaults()

Before we can start writing forms, we must have the content to work with:

>>> import zope.interface
>>> import zope.schema
>>> class IPerson(zope.interface.Interface):
...
...     name = zope.schema.TextLine(
...         title=u'Name',
...         required=True)
...
...     age = zope.schema.Int(
...         title=u'Age',
...         description=u"The person's age.",
...         min=0,
...         default=20,
...         required=False)
>>> from zope.schema.fieldproperty import FieldProperty
>>> class Person(object):
...     zope.interface.implements(IPerson)
...
...     name = FieldProperty(IPerson['name'])
...     age = FieldProperty(IPerson['age'])
...
...     def __init__(self, name, age):
...         self.name = name
...         self.age = age
...
...     def __repr__(self):
...         return '<%s %r>' % (self.__class__.__name__, self.name)

Okay, that should suffice for now. Let’s now create a working add form:

>>> from z3c.form import field
>>> from z3c.formui import form, layout
>>> class PersonAddForm(form.AddForm):
...
...     fields = field.Fields(IPerson)
...
...     def create(self, data):
...         return Person(**data)
...
...     def add(self, object):
...         self.context[object.id] = object
...
...     def nextURL(self):
...         return 'index.html'

Let’s create a request:

>>> from z3c.form.testing import TestRequest
>>> from zope.interface import alsoProvides
>>> divRequest = TestRequest()

And support the div form layer for our request:

>>> from z3c.formui.interfaces import IDivFormLayer
>>> alsoProvides(divRequest, IDivFormLayer)

Now create the form:

>>> root = getRootFolder()
>>> addForm = PersonAddForm(root, divRequest)

Since we have not specified a template yet, we have to do this now. We use our div based form template:

>>> import os
>>> import z3c.formui
>>> divFormTemplate = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(z3c.formui.__file__),
...     'div-form.pt')
>>> from z3c.template.template import TemplateFactory
>>> divFormFactory = TemplateFactory(divFormTemplate, 'text/html')

Now register the form (content) template:

>>> import zope.interface
>>> import zope.component
>>> from z3c.template.interfaces import IContentTemplate
>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(divFormFactory,
...     (zope.interface.Interface, IDivFormLayer),
...     IContentTemplate)

And let’s define a layout template which simply calls the render method. For a more adavanced content/layout render concept see z3c.pagelet.

>>> import tempfile
>>> temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
>>> myLayout = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'myLayout.pt')
>>> open(myLayout, 'w').write('''<html>
...   <body>
...     <tal:block content="structure view/render">
...       content
...     </tal:block>
...   </body>
... </html>''')
>>> myLayoutFactory = TemplateFactory(myLayout, 'text/html')
>>> from z3c.template.interfaces import ILayoutTemplate
>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(myLayoutFactory,
...     (zope.interface.Interface, zope.interface.Interface), ILayoutTemplate)

Now we can get our layout template:

>>> layout = zope.component.getMultiAdapter((addForm, divRequest),
...     ILayoutTemplate)
>>> layout
<z3c.ptcompat.ViewPageTemplateFile object at ...>

DIV-based Layout

Let’s now render the page. Note the output doesn’t contain the layout template:

>>> addForm.update()
>>> print addForm.render()
<form action="http://127.0.0.1" method="post"
      enctype="multipart/form-data" class="edit-form"
      name="form" id="form">
  <div class="viewspace">
    <div class="required-info">
      <span class="required">*</span>
      &ndash; required
    </div>
    <div>
      <div id="form-widgets-name-row" class="row">
        <div class="label">
          <label for="form-widgets-name">
            <span>Name</span>
            <span class="required">*</span>
          </label>
        </div>
        <div class="widget">
          <input id="form-widgets-name" name="form.widgets.name"
                 class="text-widget required textline-field"
                 value="" type="text" />
        </div>
      </div>
      <div id="form-widgets-age-row" class="row">
        <div class="label">
          <label for="form-widgets-age">
            <span>Age</span>
          </label>
        </div>
        <div class="widget">
          <input id="form-widgets-age" name="form.widgets.age"
                 class="text-widget int-field"
                 value="20" type="text" />
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <div class="buttons">
      <input id="form-buttons-add" name="form.buttons.add"
             class="submit-widget button-field" value="Add" type="submit" />
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

Form Macros

Try at least to load the confguration, which will make sure that all macros get registered correctly.

>>> from zope.configuration import xmlconfig
>>> import zope.component
>>> import zope.viewlet
>>> import zope.app.component
>>> import zope.app.publisher.browser
>>> import z3c.macro
>>> import z3c.template
>>> import z3c.formui
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('meta.zcml', zope.component)()
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('meta.zcml', zope.viewlet)()
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('meta.zcml', zope.app.component)()
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('meta.zcml', zope.app.publisher.browser)()
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('meta.zcml', z3c.macro)()
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('meta.zcml', z3c.template)()
>>> xmlconfig.XMLConfig('configure.zcml', z3c.formui)()

Div layout macros

Now we can see that we have different form macros available:

>>> from z3c.macro.interfaces import IMacroTemplate
>>> objects = (None, addForm, divRequest)
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form')
[...div-form.pt'), ...metal:define-macro': u'form'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'subform')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'subform'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form-label')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'label'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form-required-info')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro', u'required-info'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form-header')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'header'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form-errors')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'errors'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'widget-rows')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'widget-rows'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'widget-row')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'widget-row'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form-groups')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro': u'groups'...
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter(objects, IMacroTemplate, 'form-buttons')
[...div-form.pt'), ...define-macro', u'buttons'...
