Project Description

ArchAddOn

 

    Straightforward toolbox of field types, widgets, and validators for

    Archetypes.

 

    Please feel free to add your own new fields, widgets, and validators

    here, if you think they are general-purpose. I intend for this to be

    not sample or learning archetypes add ons (ArchExample is for that),

    but real-world usable toolbox pieces.

   

 

Features

 

        * New Fields for:

     

      - USAddress

     

      - USPhoneNumber

     

      - Email

     

      - Link

     

      - Instruction (only shows description on edit form, for adding sectional

        help or other HTML markup to an edit form)

 

      - DynamicField. This is a textual field that can contain TALES

        expressions which are evaluated. So you can add a "body" field to

        a schema that is of this type, and have it be a mix of HTML content

        and TALES expressions (just like in a ZPT).

 

      - SimpleDataGridField. A lines field with embedded vertical bars for fields. If the

        columns property is set, the isValidGrid validator will ensure that

        the entered text has exactly that number of columns for each row.

        If strip_whitespace is True, the individual cells in the grid will

        be stripped of leading and trailing whitespace (that is, whitespace

        added around the delimiter).

        If column_names is set to a tuple or list of strings, it gives the names

        of columns in the grid. The getDataGridRow script and the getRow() method

        will return a dict using these column names as keys rather than using the

        column numbers (starting from zero).

        Fields are just strings, with no internal validation, etc.

 

    * Matching widgets for these types

 

    * Validators:

 

      - FormattedUSPhoneValidator: (999) 999-9999

 

      - USAddressValidator

 

      - isValidGrid
