Re: Custom Widgets

Charlotte:

hmm.. I've implemented custom widgets before, but not that way...

Here is what I did.

In my Schema, I define a macro_view like this:

StringField('foo',
                searchable=1,
                widget=StringWidget(macro_view='foo_view',),
                ),


Then in my skins directory put a page template named foo_view and make sure
that there is a macro named view such as:
<metal:define define-macro="view">
  <p>foo</p>
</metal:define>

Does this help?

Hi

I'm having a problem with using a custom widget.

I have added the line
setattr(self, macro_view, ??)
in the image class in Archetypes/Widget.py and created a widget macro_image
in my plone_skins/custom folder.
However the Widget is not called, I'm pretty sure I did this this way before
but I could be remembering wrongly.

Can anyone help please, I may have gone veering completely of track

Charlotte
