Hey Guys, I wanted to describe the recent demographics changes that I made in my branch of schooltool, lp:~aelkner/schooltool/demo_fields. First, the main change is that I added a field called limit_keys to IFieldDescription that contains a list of ids, keys if you will, that make a given demo field apply only to the specified subset of either basicpersons or resources. So, for instance, if the limit_keys of a certain person demo is ['students', 'teachers'], then the person edit views for students and teachers would show this demo, but persons not belonging to either group would have this demo missing from their edit view.
At present, the person edit views that I refer to are only in my custom schooltool.niepa package, something that we need to discuss including in trunk, but in the case of resources, they exist in my schooltool branch itself. In that case the possible setting for a given resource limit_key is 'resource', 'location', or 'equipment', and the corresponding edit views for those resource types will reflect the demos that apply to them. Those views have been changed in my branch, so you can see how I did them. Justus, Currently, both the person and the resource demo field edit views use the CustomEnumFieldTextWidget for the limit_keys field, a textarea widget, but that makes the field free-from which is not what we want. We need the widget to be something like the default list widget, allowing the user to create a list of select drop-downs, one for each limit_key. In the case of person demos, the select field would contain 'students', 'teachers', and 'administrators'. In the case of resource demo fields, the list would be 'resource', 'location', and 'equipment'. Can you point me to code that would help me create the custom widget that allows the user to add one or more limit_keys using a different Choice field for the person demo field limit_keys from that or the resource demo fields? I tried seeing what happens when I comment out the setting of the custom widget (fields['limit_keys'].widgetFactory = ...), but that causes it to raise a ComponentLookupError with name of u'' and context of None.
