custom edit template

Hello.
How do I write a custom edit template for my archetypes type? I followed the recipes in "Professional Plone Development" to create a custom type, and define a custom view for it (by defining a view template and registering a browser view for this template in the browser/configure.zcml package). This works fine. I now need to create a custom edit/create-new template. I read these articles: http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/how-to-customise-view-or-edit-on-archetypes-content-items and http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/how-to-customise-view-or-edit-on-archetypes-content-items but either I'm doing something wrong, or they don't work as advertised - I only seem to get the default create/edit form which is a linear listing of the widgets for that type. I'm not sure if I'm creating the "mytype_edit.pt" template in the right location - its in the same directory as the edit template. Besides the above two links, I've also tried registering a view for the "edit" function via configure.zcml: <browser:page for="..interfaces.IMyType" name="edit" class=".mytype.MyTypeEdit" permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent" /> I'm utterly stumped. This is on Plone 3.2.2 on Zope 2.10.7. Please help! thanks, Vijay |

Here, you are telling that has a file mytype with a class MyTypeEdit inside, in the same directory of configure.zmcl. You can configure the template "mytype_edit.pt" via configure.zcml like that: <browser:page for="..interfaces.IMyType" name="edit" class=".mytype.MyTypeEdit" template="mytype_edit.pt" permission="cmf.ModifyPortalContent" /> ...Or your class MyTypeEdit you can use: from Products.Five.browser.pagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile class TimesheetStructure(BrowserView): __call__ = ViewPageTemplateFile('mytype_edit.pt') [], -- Luciano Pacheco Simples Consultoria www.simplesconsultoria.com.br ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Plone-Users mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plone-users |

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nathan Van Gheem <[hidden email]> Date: 2009/7/4 Subject: Re: [Plone-Users] custom edit template To: Vijay Ramachandran <[hidden email]> This is how I think I remember. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Your custom type most likely has a type profile entry. In there you'll see something registered like, <alias from="edit" to="atct_edit" /> That is why "edit" isn't actually going to your view because the edit is caught as an alias maybe and then sends it over to atct_edit. So first off, rename your edit template to something like "custom_edit" or whatever, then customize the previously stated declaration.
I think that might be your problem--just a guess though. Good luck, Nathan 2009/7/2 Vijay Ramachandran <[hidden email]>

If I understand the ArcheTypes tutorial correctly, __call__ of MyTypeEdit can specify the template to use? I've already tried this.
Nope, didn't work :(. It still falls back to the default edit template. The only thing that works is if I create a page template object via the ZMI, under portal_skins/custom, and call it "mytype_edit", the correct template is shown. I don't like this though as I have to remember to update the ZMI if I change the template. thanks, Vijay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

Hi, the article that you saw in the first e-mail, was using portal skins templates, you are using browser views templates, that's the problem here. :-) I'm just learning this things too. I think you can setup yours templates in the mytype.xml, or in portal_types tool (ZMI). Find your "mytype" in portal_types, go to tab Actions, and config the edit action to "@@edit" (it's @@ + name of your browser view, from configure.zcml). The samething apply to view action. Try this, I'm learning this too, then I don't sure it'll work. :-) [], -- Luciano Pacheco Simples Consultoria www.simplesconsultoria.com.br ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

"mytype_edit" is apparently a special name for ArcheTypes, and creating a page template named thus via the ZMI works. However, I don't believe that this is maintainable, as you need to update the ZMI every time the template changes? This tutorial - http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/customization-for-developers/tutorial-all-pages - talks about installing a custom skin template which lives on the file system, but I've not been able to get it to work to recognize mytpe_edit template.
View works perfectly as a zope3 browser view. This makes it all the more frustrating! Any other ideas? thanks, Vijay

There should be a file called "MyType.xml" in the directory profiles/default/types. In that file you should see a line that reads something like "<alias from="edit" to="atct_edit" />". Change it to something like "<alias from="edit" to="@@mytypeedit"/> and then change the browser:page directive to "name="mytypeedit".

Customize you GS settings for the content type in this respect and you should be fine. 2009/7/7 Vijay Ramachandran <[hidden email]>

Hello. I did try what you suggested did respond to your mail, but that didn't seem to have come through to the list. If I understood you correctly, I need to change the "name" attribute in the zcml browser:page entry from "edit" to "atct_edit"? That too doesn't work, unfortunately. Is there some way to look at the ZMI to see which edit template is registered for this type? thanks! Vijay

Hello. Thanks for all your help. This change allows the edit view to find the page template. So one big obstacle overcome! However, the same page template which worked for atct_edit (when added as a PT via the ZMI) fails when shown by a zope3 style view.
