overiding expirationDate and order of fields in archetype schema/ base_edit

[Rick Hurst]

Hi,

I have overidden expirationDate in my archetypes schema (i.e. changed
the widget label and description), but the field does not appear in
the place I would like it to in base edit - all the other fields apper
in the order specified in the schema, but the expirationDate appears
after the description field, 3 places in the schema too soon! Can
anyone tell me how to get it to appear in my desired position.

This is a Plone 3.1.2 site. I have inherited it rather than built it
from scratch, so there may be something elsewhere influencing where
this appears, but I haven't spotted it.

Hi Rick,

if you want to move a field to a new position you could write the
following line of code inside your content class:

schema.moveField('expirationDate', before = '<other field>')

Give a look at the method definition in
Products.Archetypes.Schema.__init__.py.

HTH,

Stefan
