I'm having some trouble with widgets, and I wanted to double check
that my methods aren't wrong before submitting a ticket.
I'm currently using the AutoCompleteField and CalendarDatePicker
widgets. If I create them "standalone" and insert them one by one in
my template, everything is fine:
==Controller==
def index(self):
contact_to = widgets.AutoCompleteField(name="contact_to",
labeltext="To", search_controller=turbogears.url("/contactsearch"))
start_date = widgets.CalendarDatePicker(name="start_date",
labeltext="Start Date", format="%d/%m/%Y")
return dict(contact_to=contact_to, start_date=start_date)
==Template Snippet==
<form>
<span py:replace="contact_to.insert()"></span>
<span py:replace="start_date.insert()"></span>
</form>
With this method I get the appropriate JS and CSS links in my <head> tags.
If I do the following however:
==Controller==
def index(self):
page_widgets = [widgets.AutoCompleteField(<snip>),
widgets.CalendarDatePicker(<snip>)]
return dict(page_widgets=page_widgets)
==Template Snippet==
<form>
<span py:for="widget in page_widgets" py:replace="widget.insert()"></span>
</form>
The above set of code does not work. The widgets are rendered, but
the associated JS and CSS links are nowhere to be found. The same
symptom occurs if using a FieldSet widget and I assume the same could
be said for a TableForm (although I haven't tested that).
Is there something I should be doing if a bunch of widgets are being
iterated over? I can't see from the code that there should be.
I'm using Revision 497 of the trunk.
Thanks,
Lee
