Hi,
I just wanted to follow up on this for other people that may try to do
this same type of thing. I'm not sure if this is the "best way"...
but it does seem to work.
class MyValidator(validators.Schema):
def to_python(self, value, state=None):
# deal with the issue that hidden field is NOT changed if
# all text is deleted in the text input field
if value['text'] == '':
value = value['text']
else:
value = value['hidden']
# skip the to_python call in *Schema*, and go right to the
# FancyValidators call... (better python way of doing this?)
super(validators.Schema,self).to_python(value, state)
return value
# make sure Schema's _to_python isn't called either...
# it won't like the value change above.
_to_python = None
# then a small modification to my AutoCompleteField (add validator)
class MyAutoCompleteField(widgets.AutoCompleteField):
validator = MyValidator(not_empty=True)
def adjust_value(self, value=None, **params):
"""Adjust a value for displaying in a widget."""
value = {'hidden': value, 'text': statemap.get(value, value)}
return super(MyAutoCompleteField, self).adjust_value(value,
**params)
Hopefully, this will help somebody.

You should be able to do such tricks with a custom validator.
