Hello,
I am new to plone/zope. I am trying to use z3c forms with plone to fetch
some data from RDBMS but I am having an issue with variables passed to edit
forms using GET and POST variables.
>From what I read, the edit form needs to override the getContent function:
def getContent(self):
#get the id from the request object
personid = int(*self.request['entityid']*)
#use the id to look up the person
person = sql.getPerson(personid)
#create a return a dictionary
content = dict(
[ (name, getattr(person,name))
for name in self.fields.keys()])
return content
This works and I can display values just fine, but when I do something
similar in the action handler
@button.buttonAndHandler(u'Apply',name='applyView')
def handleApplyView(self,action):
self.handleApply(self,action)
if not self.widgets.errors:
url = absoluteURL(self.context,self.request)
url += '/person-view?id=' + *self.request['entityid']
*
self.request.response.redirect(url)
I get an error that there is no entityid key in self.request. Inspecting
the request object seems to confirm that.
I guess my other options are to:
- Get the value from form directly with
*self.request.form.widgets.entityid*(seems like an ugly thing to do)
- Get the value from *data[]* dictionary.
What would be the best pattern for handling this type of processing?
I have used z3c.formdemo and their example (sqlmessage) but for some reason
self.request['id'] seems to work for them.
Thanks for your time
Daniel Fimiarz
