Hi there,

I could not find a bugtracker for plone.app.z3cform and plone.z3cform.
I have some patches for plone.app.form:

plone.app.form and plone.app.z3cform are different. I assume you meant plone.app.z3cform?

I think the product-developers list would be more appropriate than the KSS one, by the way.

  * kss-Validate fields in groups/fieldsets:

    I would like to extend Z3CFormValidation to handle groups.

Please!

    At the moment the kssattr-formname is not set if has_groups is true
    (macros.pt:60). This ends in bad requests for
    kss_z3cform_inline_validation/validate_input because the attribute
    formname is missing.
    The validationview itself uses the kssattr's formname and fieldname.
    That's not enough to also check all groups enough cause there can be
    more than one field with the same name and the kss-command
    replaceInnerHTML makes funny things with the dom.
    The two ways I see are:

    * include the group into kssattr-fieldname.
    * include an other kssattr in a parent of the widget (e.g. the
      filedset).

    I implemented the latter. It doesn't change the api for css and has
    to inspect on widgetset. But im uncertain if it has any siteeffects.
    A patch is attached.

This sounds sensible. Can you just commit it, preferably with a test?

  * Make it possible to disable tabbing in forms with groups.
    Tabbing is automaticaly enabled with groups. But normal webusers can
    miss the tabs or dont't understand them which leads to a frustrating
    userexperience. I attached a patch that adds an optional attribute
    enable_tabbing to the form. This is not very elegant but works.

You mean it turns off the fieldset tabs? I'd ask Daniel Nouri if he's happy to take that. Personally, I think it'd be better to just use a custom template if you don't want the semantics of the default template, rather than introduce too many switches.

  * Optional disable kss-validation
    I would like to add a second optional attribute enable_kss_validation
    to disable the validation

+1. I think this needs to work on a per-field level. Some fields behave funny when inline validated.

  * Translate Errors in kss-validation
    KSSCommands don't handle i18nmessageid's. We have to translate them
    before calling core.replaceInnerHTML. A patch is attached.

Again, please commit if you can.

  * What happend to the IAdding-View? I need it for plones contentmenu.
    plone.z3cform.add was removed shortly before I checked
    out plone.z3cform. Didn't know there had been some code I hacked
    together almost the same solution mixed from
    plone.app.content.browser.adding and Five.browser.adding with some
    small additions around the context-problems, and it works for me. Are
    there any specific problems or plans to support IAdding for plone
    3.x?

We wanted to wait to release it because it's not quite ready. It causes problems with things like Kupu. We're kind of going off IAdding. In plone.dexterity, I am using add.py, but I plan to refactor to use something different based on simple views. There was a long thread about this no the zope-cmf list. Have a look there for details.

  * I tried to overwrite ploneform-macros with my own view.
    Is there an easy way?

You can register a per-form template, either via attribute or adapter. See the z3c.form docs.

    I tried to register for a more special layer interface,
    plone.theme.interfaces.IDefaultPloneLayer, that inherits from
    ICMFDefaultSkin, but my view isn't used.
    I tried to override the registration with an overrides.zcml but
    that's only picked up by five in products in the /Products-folder,
    which my product isn't.

You need to tell your site.zcml (or your buildout.cfg) to use this. This is not z3c.form specific. In buildout with plone.recipe.zope2instance, you'd do:

zcml =
   my.package-overrides

    I tried to use includeOverrides but realised that it does not work
    when included in my own configure.zcml.

Mmmm... it probably should.

    At the end I put a *-overrides.zcml in packages-includes.

That's what the buildout snippet above does for you.

    In any way I would like to dokument it somewhere for me dump plone
    user.


If the patches are ok I apply them to plone.app.z3cform

Ask Daniel Nouri for a review, but if you're happy with them and they are tested, I'd do a commit first and ask him to review the diff. We can always revert. :)
