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
