Hello,
I wish my users to be able to register various contact details. For

fax...), the value (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and a True/False value on
whether it is to be visible on the site.
Thinking further about this, it seems to me that the natural data
structure would be dicts within a list. For example, if were doing it
in plain python it might go something like this:
contacts = []
contacts
[]
contact1 = {show:True, type:mobile tel, value: 07123 456 789}
contact2 = {show:False, type:email, value: [EMAIL PROTECTED]}
contact1['type']
'mobile tel'
contact2['type']
'email'
contacts.append(contact1)
contacts.append(contact2)
contacts
[{'type': 'mobile tel', 'value': '07123 456 789', 'show': True}, {'type': 'email
', 'value': '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'show': False}]
len(contacts)
2
I've tried to implement this zopeishly, and the stumbling block I've
hit seems to be specifying the key and value_type pairs in the dict.
So, for example:
from zope.interface import Interface
from zope.schema import List, Dict, Bool, TextLine
class IUser(Interface):
... contacts = List(
... title=uContact Details,
... value_type=Dict(
... title=udictionary,
... value_type=Bool(title=ushow)
... value_type=TextLine(title=uvalue)
... value_type=TextLine(title=utype)
... )
... )
This barfs when it hits the second value_type in the dict. Look at the
zope.schema sources it seems I can only specify one value_type and one
key_type. What I want to do is specify three pairs of keys and
value_types - note, specifying the actual keys, not just their types.
Is this possible? Or am I barking up the wrong tree!?
Any hints gratefully received.
Thanks,
James
This seems to me to add up to an amalgamation of one each of Choice,
TextLine and Bool Schema elements. Should I build up a custom Schema
item that combines these three things, or would anyone recommend an
alternative route? It would be nice if I could combine this with a bit
of checking for validity of the value (obviously based on the type
selected).
From a visual perspective, Schema based forms seem to stack each
schema element up on a new line. To make better use of screen 'real
estate' (and to logically group) I think it would be better if my
amalgamation appeared on one line. Does this have any baring on how I
should approach the issue?
Alternatively, I'd be open to any suggestions on completely different
ways of handling this - the 'custom schema element' way does have the
problem that if I wanted to allow up to, say, six contact details to
be provided I would have to put six sets of three control elements on
screen, which would be wasteful for users who only want to specify one
contact detail.
Thanks,
James

[Zope3-Users] New mailinglist for Zope 3 translators
Hello all, [Sorry for the cross-post, please CC replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only.] two months ago, I started an initiative [1] to translate Zope 3.1 using Ubuntu's Launchpad system [2]. Since then, I've received a lot of emails from numerous volunteers around the world and many of them made some excellent progress [3]. Thanks to everyone who contributed so far. A new mailinglist at [EMAIL PROTECTED] will now help translators and developers like me to coordinate their work. For example, all those translations will have to be integrated back into the Zope 3.1 repository at some point which has to be coordinated somehow. Also, translators themselves will want to coordinate the work among them. The mailinglist will serve as a forum for discussing and coordinating things like that. So, if you're involved into Zope 3 translations OR if you would like to contribute something to Zope 3 by helping to translate it into your language, please subscribe to the new list [4]. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or even better the new list. Best regards Philipp [1] http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2005-August/015113.html [2] https://launchpad.net [3] https://launchpad.net/products/zope/+series/zope3.1/+pots/zope [4] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-i18n ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

Hey James,
What you probably want to explore is the Object field. This lets you
define a sub-schema, as it were, and use that in your main schema.
An example (untested)... maybe in yourproject/types/interfaces.py:
from zope.interface import Interface
from zope.schema import List, Text, TextLine, Int, Choice
from zope.schema import Object
from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageIDFactory
_ = MessageIDFactory('yourproj')
# sub-schema
class IContactData(Interface):
show = Bool(title = _(uShow Data?))
type = TextLine(title = _(uData Type))
value = TextLine(title = _(uData Value))
# main schema
class IUser(Interface)
name_first = TextLine(
title = _(uFirst Name)
)
name_last = TextLine(
title = _(uLast Name)
)
contact_info = List(
title = _(uContact Info),
value_type = Object(
schema=IContactData,
),
)
Then (maybe in user.py, ):
...
class ContactData(object):
implements(IPageSection)
# and whatever else you might want to
# put in here
class User(PortalContent):
implements(IUser)
# and whatever else you might want to
# put in here
...
Then you're going to have to do some extra work with a custom widget (a
good place would be ./browser/userview.py):
from zope.app.form.browser import ObjectWidget
from zope.app.form.browser.editview import EditView
from zope.app.form import CustomWidgetFactory
from yourproject.types import ContactData
from yourproject.types.interfaces import IUser
parts_w = CustomWidgetFactory(ObjectWidget, ContactData)
class ContactDataEditView(EditView):
View for editing a page section.
__used_for__ = IUser
parts_widget = parts_w
In your browser/configure.zcml, your going to need something like this:
browser:editform
schema=yourproject.types.interfaces.IUser
class=.userview.ContactDataEditView
label=Edit User
name=edit.html
menu=zmi_views
title=Edit
permission=zope.ManageContent /
I may be forgetting something here... but this should certainly give
you a head start. There's a bunch of very good information on this in
these files:
zope/app/form/browser/widgets.txt
zope/app/form/browser/objectwidget.txt
Hmmm, looking through these again, these are really good examples. Pay
more attention to them than to what I wrote above ;-)
By the way, (and irrespective of the structure of the data) this data
you are adding seems to me a good candidate for annotations. You might
want to explore that...
Happy trails!

Re: [Zope3-Users] Problem: Could not locate Zope software installation!
FYI: I just downloaded and installed Zope 3.1 on another Gentoo box (with the same /etc/profile as the one depicted below). That (second) one worked without any issues whatsoever. The major differences between the two boxes is that the first box is using an Athlon64 chip (with Gentoo's amd64 installation), and the second box is an older Pentium III (using Gentoo's x86 installation). This, of course, begs the question of some 64-bit compatibility issue. I noticed that when it builds (using make) that a --skip-build parameter is included. Could the lack of that particular building be a problem?

Re: [Zope3-Users] bug on HP-UX 11.00
Stack size doesn't seem to be the issue. The HP box is set to 31116 Kb. The recommendation on early releases of Mac OS X was 4096 Kb. Good idea though! Does anyone have any ideas on why the unittest would fail? Specifically, the testLargeBody method in test_httpserver.py? it calls a method loop: def loop(self): self.thread_started.set() while self.run_loop: self.counter = self.counter + 1 #print 'loop', self.counter poll(0.1) which loops forever. Why would this happen on HP-UX and not on other systems? I'm not to familiar with socket programming and the poll() call.
