Well... What should I validate in a compound widget such as the
AutoCompleteField? The syntax of a validator looks like:
name = validator
Where name is the parameter that is being returned from HTML. The problem is
that the name that is generated there is not tied to the name I provided.
Here's the HTML generated for the AutoCompleteField that I mentioned in #777:
===============================================================================
<DIV>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/JavaScript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
AutoCompleteManagerform_endereco = new
AutoCompleteManager('form_endereco',
'form_endereco_endereco_text', 'form_endereco_hidden',
'/fornecedores/search_endereco', 'endereco', 'enderecos',false);
addLoadEvent(AutoCompleteManagerform_endereco.initialize);
</SCRIPT>
<INPUT NAME="endereco.endereco_text" CLASS="textfield" TYPE="text"
ID="form_endereco_endereco_text" VALUE="R. Poeta Francisco Ferreira Leite, 40
- 6" SIZE="51">
<IMG SRC2="/tg_widgets/turbogears.widgets/spinner.gif"
SRC="/tg_widgets/turbogears.widgets/spinnerstopped.png"
NAME="autoCompleteSpinnerendereco" ID="autoCompleteSpinnerform_endereco">
<DIV CLASS="autoTextResults" ID="autoCompleteResultsform_endereco"
NAME="autoCompleteResultsendereco">
</DIV>
<INPUT CLASS="hiddenfield" TYPE="hidden" ID="form_endereco_hidden"
NAME="endereco.hidden">
</DIV>
===============================================================================
I want to validate, e.g., the field that has the name "endereco.endereco_text"
-- the name I gave to the AutoCompleteField was "endereco" and the name for
the text_field was "endereco_text". The code is:
===============================================================================
endereco = widgets.AutoCompleteField(
search_controller="/fornecedores/search_endereco",
search_param="endereco",
result_name="enderecos",
text_field = widgets.TextField(name = 'endereco_text',
attrs = {'size':51},
label = _(u'Endereço'),))
===============================================================================
The derived name is not obvious and one will always have to look at the output
to know the name of the field he'll be validating since it isn't anything he
typed in.
I'd expect to have to validate "endereco_text" or even just "endereco" since I
haven't specified a hidden field but have specified a text_field. But since
it is made of two separate widgets, I'd be fine validating the inner field.
What I want here? To write something like:
endereco.endereco_text = validators.UnicodeString()
But if I do that, then I'll receive an error message stating that there's no
'endereco' object or not 'endereco_text' attribute for the inexistent object.
Won't I? <testing> Yes, I get an error:
===============================================================================
NameError: name 'endereco' is not defined
===============================================================================
So, if the name there has a "." in it, I can't create a Schema with that name
and this name is what is returned as the key in the key=value pair that we
receive from the web before any processing.
What should I write as the validator name to validate this field? And why are
validators for the form ignored when I declare them on the
widgets.WidgetsList and concatenate several of these into a form?
