[Zope-dev] Dynamic formlibs
Hello, I have posted this message to the gepaid mailing list but nobody answered yet, so I thought I would give a try on this mailing list, as this issue is also related to Zope 3. Basically I have a fork of PloneGetPaid and did I am doing some major modification in it to adapt it to my business domain and requirements. In my modified version of PGP, the ShippingMethod and PaymentProcessor are not configured Store-wide, instead, they are configured per PayableItem. When a user creates a new payableitem (which in this particular framework is actually a custom content type and not regular content types marked by interfaces) the user can choose what Shipping Method and Payment Processor to use for this particular item. They are named adapters and I store their names in the object. What I would like to do (and have been trying to do without success) is to have the checkout forms be generated according to metadata defined on both the IShippingMethod and IPaymentMethod adapters. When the user chooses to buy a PayableItem, it goes straight to the checkout process (the checkout view is called in the payable item's view instead of the portal root). In the checkout-review-pay form's __init__ method, both named adapters are instantiated (using component.getAdapter (context,IShipphingMethod,name=context.getShipping_method()). There's a particular ShippingMethod that doesn't require any fields (only has some logic that is ran when the order is paid) . For this, I would like to show a warning in the form (arbitrary HTML) instead of fields, something like: This product will be installed by our team, we will contact you with details The User contact info and address are queried from the user model. Also for the PaymentProcessor, different payment processor require different fields or interface elements. My idea is to transfer the code that define, create and register the Transient bags, the code that define the fieldsets and widgets all to these adapters (IShippingMethod and IPaymentProcessor). However, I'm not sure yet on what to use to implement it. I thought on using viewlets, since it would add another layer of abstraction and allow me to insert html in them. Please, I really need some help here, what do you experienced getpaid developers think I should do in order to achieve this? I think that this idea could make into a good featureset for future getpaid releases!

[Zope-dev] Character enconding problems in zope.formlib
Hello, I'm using zope.formlib to generate some HTML forms and I'm having some issues with character enconding. The schema is like the followng: class IBoletoBancarioPaymentOptions( IPaymentProcessorOptions ): dias_de_prazo_para_pagamento = schema.Int( title = _(uNosso número), required = True, description = _(uNosso número), default = 5, ) Note that I'm actually using the u thing before the string, however, even so, the string is still incorrectly rendered. The title and description strings get rendered like: Nosso número (the ú char is not rendered correctly) The browser is using UTF-8 enconding. I should mention that I'm using Zope 3 formlib through Five in Plone 3. How could I solve it? I have no idea where to start.

[Zope-dev] Setting the size of a zope.formlib's schema html input
Hello, This might sound lik a stupid question, but I couldn't find any simple solution or answer for this anywhere else, so hopefully someone in this list knows the answer. I'm using zope.formlib to generate a simple contact form. It is simple and effective. But the framework complicates for simple things such as setting the size of a textfield. I don't want all the textfields to be of the same size - I want that, depending on the field, the size of the html input will vary. And that's exactly what I couldn't do as of yet. Does anyone know how could I set the size of a textfield? Take this as example: Telefone = schema.TextLine(title=_(uTelefone para Contato), required=True) Is there an attribute like size or something?

Re: [Zope-dev] Setting the size of a zope.formlib's schema html input
Thank you all for the replies! I wouldn't like to use CSS since I would like a self-contained form - all the data necessary to built the form would be in the schema. I think that the size of the text inputs, though being presentational in nature, in this case are **very** specific to the form and vary depending on the semantics of the fields, so, I don't think moving this data to a CSS would be the best option. Could someone show me an example of defining a widget to set the size of the rendered input? Marcelo.

Take this as example: Telefone = schema.TextLine(title=_(uTelefone para Contato), required=True) Is there an attribute like size or something? Someone (you?) asked this in IRC. Schema's (and schema fields) are for specification, not presentation. (Yes, the title and description are used for presentation by default.) If you want to provide finer control over presentation, provide custom widget in the form field definition. (It might be nice if zope.formlib.Field provided the ability to provide widget data without having to specify the widget.)
