Hello Hermann!Since the country names depend on the locale I don't want to
save the countryname on my object, only the country code. Hence, my utility
contains only country codes, ['AD', 'AF', ...].
If, in my DropdownWidget, I provide a vocabulary on the form [('AD',
'Andorra'), ('Af', 'Afghanistan'), ...] instead of the one in my utility,
the constraint will obviously fail when the form is submitted ('AD' does not
equal ('AD,'Andorra)).
In my case you can say that the countrynames are "dynamic" and merealy a UI
thing, whereas in your app you are retrieving a constant list of
countrynames, right?
Perhaps this should remove any misunderstandings you might have about my
earlier post. (This problem _can_ be solved with z3c.widget but it'd be nice
to get this working on my own)
My current solution is a quick hack: I save a list in
DropdownWidget.territories on the form [('AD', 'Andorra'), ('Af',
'Afghanistan'), ...] and then tal:repeat over it setting the -value
attribute to countrycode and put countryname inside ...
Regards

Hello Jesper,
That should be solved already. Look for z3c.widget.country.

Hello!
I'm trying to implement a DropdownWidget for my country list. In my app i'd like to have a dropdown menu where a user can choose a country (for my main content object, a job). My vocabulary is created from a list of strings, and stored in a local utility:
SimpleVocabulary.fromValues( [u'AD', u'AE', 'AF', ...] )
But in my dropdown widget i want to display the country name for each option too.. and not just the same value on both the value attribute and inside the element:
Andorra
So i send in a different vocabulary.. one that looks like this:
[(u'AD', u'Andorra'),...]
So i coded this:
-
class CountryDropDown(DropdownWidget):
def __init__(self, field, request):
#This returns a dict: {'countrycode':'countryname'}
territories = request.locale.displayNames.territories
# Invert the territories dict: keys=names, values=ccodes
self.territories = sorted(territories.items (), key=itemgetter(1))
#not using this any longer..
#voc = getUtility(IVocabularyFactory, u'Country codes')
voc = SimpleVocabulary.fromItems(self.territories)
super(CountryDropDown, self).__init__(field, voc, request)
def textForValue(self, term):
return term.value
-
But it seems like when i choose a country, e.g Andorra, the constraint fails. I think it is because my modified vocabulary that i sent in which it is now checking constraints against fails.
I want the constraints to be checked in my ordinary vocabulary but i want to use a different one when populating the dropdown.. any ideas?
