RE: [Zope] Editing Property Sheet HTML
The question is ... how do I do it? I'd like to make the default textarea field quite a bit bigger -- but I wasn't able to explore my way to success in the interface, and about 20 mins of seaching has yielded no answers. You could edit lib/python/OFS/properties.dtml, which renders the property management screen. The DTML in there has gotten pretty scary over time though :^) Brian Lloyd[EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I think I can hack it into submission. And here's a followup question: If I want to make a custom Properties view for a specific ZClass, how do I proceed? Just create an additional method for the class and add it under Views? And if I do this, is there any kind of DTML templete (sort of like the default add and addForm methods) that I can work from? And do I need to go this far if I (for example) simply want to change the display order for existing properties? Many thanks (as always) for any answers you have...

You should be able to start with the stock properties.dtml source for the new view and make your changes starting from there...

Then again, it's pretty late, so mebbe I'm just being dim If the propertysheet you want to customize belongs to a ZClass, then you are in luck. Try adding a "Property Sheet Interface" object to the methods tab of your ZClass: it will prompt you for the name of the sheet, and whether you want a "view" interface or an "edit" interface; it then creates a DTML Method with appropriate chrome for customization.
