I'd be grateful for an answer to the following: I have a container class that displays rows from a database. I have a default view for those containers that I want to have display a table of rows with column headers being the titles of the fields in the interface supported by the contained objects support. My container has a class variable "containedInterface" which can be specialized to subclasses to specify the interface to the rows of the contained object.
In the view, I have the following code to get the column names: def getColumnNames( self ): def getNameForField( pair ): fname, fld = pair if IField.providedBy( fld ): return fld.title else: return unicode( fname ) return map( getNameForField, self.context.containedInterface.namesAndDescriptions( all = True ) ) The problem is that "fld.title" access gives me a ForbiddenAttribute error when I access the schema.Date object (as it happens). It would seem nonsensical to declare permissions on IDate in order to do this. I guess I could add an accessor to either the container or the contained object that did the dirty work, and then passed the result to the view, and declare that accessible(?). But from a design point of view, neither the container nor the contained object should be concerned with how they are displayed. That's the whole point of views, right? So I think its better not to clutter up their definitions with extra accessors. (? Again) Thus as far as I can tell, given some dubious assumptions perhaps, the only way to do this is if I somehow made the view trusted (or at least this function), so it wouldn't have to worry about the security restrictions. Is this possible? Is it a good idea? Thanks very much, - Shaun Cutts PS... perhaps I could declare the "containedInterface" itself to be content? I'm going to try fiddling around with that, but I'm sending this message anyway, because even if that works, it seems too strange to be the right solution, and surely this is a common problem. _______________________________________________ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
