[Zope3-dev] Hidden fields inside Schema Edit View....

[Craig Ewington]

I've created a view onto a content object.  That view has a link to an 
edit view generated by the zope.app.form machinery.  I'd like to 
provide a mechanism that returns the user to the original content view 
after they click 'Change' at the bottom of the edit form. Absent 
sessions (using I'm using the 3.0 release version ), one approach would 
be to propagate the url of the originating view using hidden fields.  
There's some precedent for this type of state propagation in the 
zope.app.form.editwizard.pt template.

My difficulty is that a different template is used for the default edit 
view implementations - zope.app.form.edit.pt and it does not support 
hidden fields per se.

a) Would it make sense to add hidden field support to 
zope.app.form.edit.pt?
b) If no to (a), how should I specify that I want a different edit form 
template to be used for all schemas (schemata?)?

P.S. I wasn't sure if this should be posted to Zope3-dev or Zope3-users.
