The documentation is very verbose but I have found a way of doing, you can find the code here: http://plone.pastebin.com/m5590d336
The idea: using subforms and the more and fewer buttons will be javascript + css effects that display or not the fields. This code seems pretty good to me but failed with this error: AttributeError: 'SearchForm' object has no attribute 'actions' . It happens if I define the update method in the global search form. I don't understand I m calling the upper class, so no differences. If someone can help me on this, I would be glade. The complete trace is here: http://plone.pastebin.com/m4f71b339 Now I m sure z3cform will fit with my needs. -- Cordialement, Jean-Michel FRANCOIS Makina-Corpus _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
