Re: How to register validators (...) for a new type

you have to register your validator.
You do this in portal_properties->form_properties
what action is called from a form you define in 
portal_properties->form_properties.
The form itself has to call itself as its action like this:
  <form class="group"
          name="edit_form"
          action="metadata_edit"
          method="post"
          tal:attributes="action python:here.portal_form_url(template.id)" >

and finally you have to have a hiiden field like this:
       <input type="hidden" name="form_submitted" value="1" 
tal:attributes="value template/id" />

About factory_type_information

Hi,

I'm stuck with some details about factory_type_information in a CMF/Plone
Python Product.
Can someone tell me what's the subtile difference between the keys 'id',
'meta_type' and 'portal_type' ?

Many thanks in advance.

Diffs for CMFQuickInstallerTool

multiple forms

Hi,
I'm developing my own PloneProduct based on PloneMinimalProduct. Currently, 
PloneMinimalProduct involves one edit_form for object creation, but I would 
like to use a more complicated scheme. I want to involve multiple forms for 
object creation.

Geoff Davis wrote that "It might be better to use a real instance of the 
desired class that is stored in the /temp_folder (or a session) as the 
placeholder.  That way one can build up an object over the course of several 
forms.  Because the object would be stored in the transient object 
container, it would go away eventually if the user does not complete its 
creation."

Can any of you provide me an example that illustrates what Geoff describes?

Thanks,
Marco Escobedo

You mean wizard-like functionality? You should gain it right now with 
Plone Navigation Tool. Just put next form as success of previous one and 
so on.

As far as I know Plone Portal Factory Tool should take care of that. But 
as far as I know, it was never finished (look like not too many people 
needed it). But IMHO it'll be completed some time because functionality 
it should provide is needed in some environments.

Regarding the /temp_folder and session storages. I think it is bad idea 
because object does not have the right context then. Unless there is a 
way to store an object there and provide correct context for it to 
"feel" itself like inplace.

navtree, folders and actions

hi.

just finishing up a website for a client and am realizing that
navtree is very crufty.  could we get rid of alot of the
properties if we could substitute it with Actions or atleast
to generate Expression contexts and evaluate the objects -
yes I know it would be a lot slower.

also.. regarding folders and tabs we need to fix this.  limi
your input would be appreciated.

- there are many occassions when a folder does not need a 'view'
if you turn off 'view' you should not get 'Switch to item view'
and should would not have the 'view' tab at the top.

- in folder_contents and navtree - should we override 'immediate_view'
attribute in portal_types and use that as the default view when
you click on something.

- should there be a special action that if found is used?  i.e.
if a type has a action called folder_url maybe it returns back
the appropriate url for what folder_content would link to?

NOTE: in Plone 1.1 we should remove the 'state' tab and move it
onto the individual actions of the types that it applies to.
obviously it does not apply to collectors or their issues (I think it borks 
if you try)

any opinions/ideas?
