Introduction
============

plone.formwidget.contenttree is a z3c.form widget for use with Plone. It
uses the jQuery Autocomplete widget, and has graceful fallback for non-
Javascript browsers.

There is a single-select version (AutocompleteSelectionFieldWidget) for
Choice fields, and a multi-select one (AutocompleteMultiSelectionFieldWidget)
for collection fields (e.g. List, Tuple) with a value_type of Choice.

When using this widget, the vocabulary/source has to provide the IQuerySource
interface from z3c.formwidget.query and have a search() method. The easiest
way to do this is generate one with one of:

* plone.formwidget.contenttree.PathSourceBinder(navigation_tree_query=None, **kw)
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.ObjPathSourceBinder(navigation_tree_query=None, **kw)
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.UUIDSourceBinder(navigation_tree_query=None, **kw)

Where ``navigation_tree_query`` is some restrictions that should be applied to
any Catalog query. The rest of the arguments are used to form a filter (see source.py).

``PathSourceBinder`` and ``ObjPathSourceBinder`` store the selected object's
path in the field value. This means that the link will be broken if the object
is moved. ``UUIDSourceBinder`` stores UUID references, so will handle pages
being moved.

If you do not want to filter the content tree whatsoever, there are some
pre-baked instances too:

* plone.formwidget.contenttree.path_src_binder
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.obj_path_src_binder
* plone.formwidget.contenttree.uuid_src_binder

Example Usage::

    from zope.component import adapts
    from zope.interface import Interface, implements
    from zope import schema

    from plone.z3cform import layout

    from z3c.form import form, button, field

    from plone.formwidget.contenttree import ContentTreeFieldWidget
    from plone.formwidget.contenttree import MultiContentTreeFieldWidget
    from plone.formwidget.contenttree import PathSourceBinder


    class ITestForm(Interface):

        buddy = schema.Choice(title=u"Buddy object",
                              description=u"Select one, please",
                              source=PathSourceBinder(portal_type='Document'))

        friends = schema.List(
            title=u"Friend objects",
            description=u"Select as many as you want",
            value_type=schema.Choice(
                title=u"Selection",
                source=PathSourceBinder(portal_type='Document')))


    class TestAdapter(object):
        implements(ITestForm)
        adapts(Interface)

        def __init__(self, context):
            self.context = context

        def _get_buddy(self):
            return None
        def _set_buddy(self, value):
            print "setting", value
        buddy = property(_get_buddy, _set_buddy)

        def _get_friends(self):
            return []
        def _set_friends(self, value):
            print "setting", value
        friends = property(_get_friends, _set_friends)


    class TestForm(form.Form):
        fields = field.Fields(ITestForm)
        fields['buddy'].widgetFactory = ContentTreeFieldWidget
        fields['friends'].widgetFactory = MultiContentTreeFieldWidget
        # To check display mode still works, uncomment this and hit refresh.
        #mode = 'display'

        @button.buttonAndHandler(u'Ok')
        def handle_ok(self, action):
            data, errors = self.extractData()
            print data, errors

    TestView = layout.wrap_form(TestForm)
