plone.z3cform API changes

[Daniel Nouri]

Hi,

Version 0.3 of plone.z3cform brings some (backwards incompatible) API
changes.  This is because we split the package up into two, where
plone.z3cform became the part that's reusable for the CMF folks.

If you're a user of plone.z3cform and you don't want to make changes to
your code right now to keep it working, just pin your dependency to
version 0.2 of plone.z3cform, as in "plone.z3cform==0.2".

The code changes necessary are very small.  This is what has moved:

  plone.z3cform.base -> plone.app.z3cform.layout
  plone.z3cform.wysiwyg -> plone.app.z3cform.wysiwyg
  plone.z3cform.queryselect -> plone.app.z3cform.queryselect

As an example, here's the list of changes that were necessary in the S&D
product to upgrade it to the new version:

  http://dev.plone.org/collective/changeset/68822

The how-to on plone.org was updated to reflect these changes:

  http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/easy-forms-with-plone3

A function "wrap_form" was also added as a convenient alternative to
creating two classes per form.  Instead of:

  class MyForm(z3c.form.form.Form):
      # ...

  class MyView(plone.app.z3cform.layout.FormWrapper):
      # ...

you can now use:

 class MyForm(z3c.form.form.Form):
      # ...

  MyView = plone.app.z3cform.layout.wrap_form(MyForm)


Peace,

Thanks Daniel,
I tried the tutorial last night and it didn't work :(
Tried it tonight, without changing any code and now it works!! I see that plone.app.z3cform was updated in pypi :). So the documentation was up before the code was behaving.

You'll be pleased to know that I've successfully made my first trivial z3cform and my code worked on the first try (if you don't count not being able to start Zope last night).

Yeah, sorry for that.  I updated the docs a day before I uploaded the
release.  And thought I'd get away with it...

That's great.
