[Zope3-Users] formlib confusion
hi all... i've recently tried to start moving away from zope.app.form.browser.editview's EditView, and to zope.formlib.form's Form and EditForm, but have run into something that confuses me. i'm setting up the zcml for both of them basically the same way, using browser:page and assigning a template. my issue is that it doesn't seem like EditForm is paying any attention to my page template. no matter what i do to the page template, nothing changes in the display, but if i remove the page template entirely, i get a system error saying it can't find the resource, just like i'd expect. so the machinery is aware of the page template, but seems to ignore it entirely. my class looks something like the following... the actions are just placeholders until i figure out why the page template doesn't seem to have any affect. code class ConsumerRegistrarForm(form.Form): form to be filled out at signup form_fields = form.Fields(IConsumerRegistrar, IConsumerPrincipalInfo, omit_readonly=True) primary_actions = form.Actions() secondary_actions = form.Actions() @zope.cachedescriptors.property.Lazy def actions(self): return list(self.primary_actions) + list(self.secondary_actions) @form.action(u'Register', primary_actions) def handle_registration_action(self, action, data): self.status = uYou clicked the button! @form.action(u'SomethingElse', secondary_actions) def handle_somethingelse_action(self, action, data): self.status = u'This does nothing!' def setUpWidgets(self, ignore_request=False): self.widgets = form.setUpWidgets( self.form_fields, self.prefix, self.context, self.request, ignore_request=ignore_request ) /code zcml_config !-- consumer registar -- browser:addform schema=..interfaces.registration.IConsumerRegistrar label=Add Consumer Registrar content_factory=..registration.ConsumerRegistrar name=AddConsumerRegistrar.html permission=zope.ManageServices / browser:addMenuItem title=Consumer Registrar description=Consumer Registrar class=..registration.ConsumerRegistrar permission=zope.ManageServices view=AddConsumerRegistrar.html / browser:page for=..interfaces.registration.IConsumerRegistrar class=.registration.ConsumerRegistrarForm template=registrar.zpt name=register.html permission=zope.Public / browser:page for=..interfaces.principal.IConsumerPrincipalInfo class=.registration.ConsumerRegistrarForm template=registrar.zpt name=register.html permission=zope.Public / /zcml_config any thoughts on this would be very appreciated... my original page template was so simple that i didn't notice it wasn't having any affect. but once i started adding viewlets to it that didn't show up in view source at all, i realized something was amiss. i deleted everything except the bare skeleton, including all metal:use-macro statements in my page template, and still, the view kept showing up exactly the same way. even just making it blank html that said I am the page template! for the body didn't make any difference to the view, which makes me think it's paying no attention to it at all.

Re: [Zope3-Users] formlib confusion
Hi Pete,
I assign templates in view classes when using formlib:
from zope.app.pagetemplate.viewpagetemplatefile import
ViewPageTemplateFile
class ConsumerRegistrarForm(form.Form):
.
.
template = ViewPageTemplateFile('registrar.zpt')
.
.
I would also be interested to find out if zcml template directive could
still be used with formlib forms.

any thoughts on this would be very appreciated... my original page
template was so simple that i didn't notice it wasn't having any
affect. but once i started adding viewlets to it that didn't show up
in view source at all, i realized something was amiss. i deleted
everything except the bare skeleton, including all metal:use-macro
statements in my page template, and still, the view kept showing up
exactly the same way. even just making it blank html that said I am
the page template! for the body didn't make any difference to the
view, which makes me think it's paying no attention to it at all.
Thanks, as always :)

That's the way you do it, or with a named template, or with a custom
render method.

Nope. Maybe you could write a render method that looked in the right
place; I don't remember those details anymore.

Re: [Zope3-Users] formlib confusion
ah, hah! that would be why no matter what i do to the template, it
doesn't change anything. I guess, since viewlet takes a template
argument in zcml, i assumed it was using it. thanks, as always, Gary.
