Re: [Zope-dev] Using propertysheets?
From: peter sabaini [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think it should work well with PropertyManager Thanks, I got a lot further now. Still some things before I'm done though: - Define your own edit form How do I do that? The default edit form /propertysheets/name/manage works well, but doesn't have any management tabs. I've done a lot of experimenting, but everytime I get management tabs I also get the default properties, no matter what view I'm on...

[Zope-dev] Using propertysheets?
I'm making a Zope product (in python) where I want the users to have control over what properties that exist. At the same time I don't want the users to have to deal with having all properties in one big mess under the standard Property-tab. So, my question is then: Should I use the PropertySheets class for this, and if yes, does anybody have any example code, becuase it's not immediately obvious how to use it.

Usage (works for me):
- Define your own edit form
- Derive your class from PropertyManager
- Add a propertysheet to a class instance, eg.:
def __init__(self):
self.propertysheets.manage_addPropertySheet('advanced', 'advanced')
- Add a prop:
advanced.manage_addProperty('something', 0, 'int')
- Do something with your propsheet, eg. update it:
adv = self.propertysheets.get('advanced')
if REQUEST is not None:
return self.manage_advancedForm(
REQUEST,
manage_tabs_message='Advanced Settings updated.',
)
- Or read a property:
self.propertysheets.get('advanced').something
If you're having problems just shout.
cheers!
peter.

[Zope-dev] Using PropertySheets
Hi everbody, I've played a bit with the PropertySheets interface and I wanted to create two Stylesheets. Everything works fine, but ... * I don't get the management tabs in the propertysheet/manage method. Perhaps a permission problem? * I can't pass a default value to a tokens property. How to? * I can't pass a default value to a boolean property. How to? Could someone please give me some example code or hints?

No I tried that.
* I can't pass a default value to a boolean property. How to?
How are you trying to do this? You can pass in the string '1' for true
and '0' for false.
I tried both int numbers 0/1 and strings '0'/'1'
Could someone please give me some example code or hints?

I'm currently trying to create a ZBibliography product.
Every class should have a base class which defines the basic properties
in two property sheets 'data' and description'.
For example: the 'data' property sheet currently stores 'persons', and
'title' while the 'description' sheet stores for example 'languages'
(tokens), 'offprint', and 'public' boolean attributes.
I'm not shure if this works: I wanna extend the properties stored in the
'data' sheet in the subclasses 'book', 'article', etc.
Please be patient because this is my first python program.
I hope this helps
Eric

Here are parts of my code:
Properties for the 'desc' PropertySheet
self._descprops = (
{'id':'source', 'type':'string', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'languages', 'type':'tokens', 'value':'en', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'files', 'type':'lines', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'keywords', 'type':'lines', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'references', 'type':'lines', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'abstracts', 'type':'text','value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'annotation', 'type':'text','value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'classification', 'mode':'w', 'type':'multiple selection',
'value':'', 'select_variable':'categories', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'offprint', 'type':'boolean', 'value':0, 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'public', 'type':'boolean', 'value':1, 'mode':'w',},
)
Properties for the 'data' PropertySheet:
self._dataprops = (
{'id':'persons', 'value':'','type':'lines', 'mode':'w'},
{'id':'title','value':title, 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'},
{'id':'title_transl', 'value':'','type':'string', 'mode':'w'},
)
