Provides through-the-web editing of a zope 3 schema/interface.

Project description

Introduction

plone.schemaeditor provides a through-the-web interface for modifying Zope 3 schemata (interfaces).

Currently there is support for:

  • adding and removing fields

  • editing attributes of existing fields

  • reordering fields

  • renaming fields

plone.schemaeditor only handles the actual schema editing. To be useful, it requires some integration code to take care of the following pieces:

  • traversing to a schema that is used as the context of the editor

  • persisting schema changes across Zope restarts

See plone.app.dexterity (along with plone.dexterity and plone.supermodel) for one approach to this integration.

The following field types (from zope.schema) are currently supported:

  • TextLine

  • Text

  • Int

  • Float

  • Bool

  • Password

  • Datetime

  • Choice (with simple list of values)

  • List of Choice (with simple list of values)

Third-party packages can make additional field types available by registering new IFieldFactory utilities.

Dependencies

  • Zope 2

  • z3c.form

  • plone.z3cform

Despite the namespace, Plone is not a dependency.

Changelog

1.0b2 - 2011-01-22

  • Add another possible base to try for our fixed IDatetime, since plone.app.z3cform may change which one takes precedence. [davisagli]

  • Default to adding Textline fields. [davisagli]

1.0b1 - 2010-04-18

  • Added overlay support to the field edit screens. [davisagli, limi]

  • Revamped UI to show WYSIWYG representation of fields. [davisagli, limi]

  • Removed the JavascriptFormWrapper. [davisagli]

  • Major package cleanup. [davisagli]

  • Omit the ‘required’ and ‘missing_value’ fields for Bool fields. [davisagli]

  • Add the ability to define vocabularies of simple TextLine values. Both single and multiple select fields are provided. [rossp]

  • Override base field interfaces to get the correct field types for the default and missing_value fields, rather than using the MetaFieldWidgetFactory. [rossp]

  • Make sure that normalized ids for new fields use _ instead of -, so that they can be accessed without using getattr. [davisagli]

  • Fix issue with moving fields to position 0 in a schema. [davisagli]

  • List the available field type vocabulary alphabetically. [davisagli]

  • No longer provide a field factory for zope.schema.Bytes, since plone.namedfile provides a better file field and now registers its own field factories. [davisagli]

  • Fix inline validation for the field edit form. [davisagli]

  • Added ReadOnlySchemaListing for listing fields without making them editable. [davisagli]

  • CSS tweaks [davisagli]

1.0a2 - 2009-07-12

  • Changed API methods and arguments to mixedCase to be more consistent with the rest of Zope. This is a non-backwards-compatible change. Our profuse apologies, but it’s now or never. :-/

    If you find that you get import errors or unknown keyword arguments in your code, please change names from foo_bar too fooBar, e.g. add_field() becomes addField(). [optilude]

1.0a1 - 2009-05-23

  • Initial release
