Re: [Zope-dev] The field converters (:int, :text, etc.)
my alpha quality dtml-contract tag does allows custom field converters much as has been requested here, its meant as a generic form processing engine with the ability to define per variable error pages. its got some other features. its modeled on the arsdigita (acs) ad_page_contract. due to my stupidity you have to add a custom filter directly to the filter dictionary defined in Filters.py. fyi for the license impaired its gpl'd available at www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo/PageContract.tgz kapil > > On 4 Feb 2001, at 15:59, Morten W.

The last time I had to mess around with it, IE didn't pass along any empty form fields at all. Is this still the case? - Original Message - From: "Brad Clements" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Morten W.

Each time I get a Zope update I have to edit Converters.py What I want is something like :empty_as_none So a float, int or date field will be passed as None if the fields are blank, rather than having the converter raising an exception. ignore_empty doesn't work, because then the field isn't passed in the Record at all. I use SQLDict as the backend for all my forms (wow, it's great), so None really is needed for every field if its blank. If I have ignore_empty, then that field doesn't get updated in the database, so if someone wants to blank out a field, they can't do it.
