Roger Ineichen was so kind to answer my questions about object
widgets (I had contacted him privately as I was not on this list yet.)
Basically I tried to get his mother/father/family example at
/Zope3/src/zope/app/form/browser/objectwidget.txt to work. - Besides
mother and father I added two simple TextLine attributes foo and bar
to family.
The solution I have now works fine and is shown below (everything is
in a package families). I think it is nice in that one can rely on
automatically have the machinery generated the code for the widgets,
even the object widgets. Only very few things have to be hand-written:
Especially I learned how to write the FamilyEditView class and how to
use it in the configuration with class=".fview.FamilyEditView" (the
problems I had were my zope 3 beginner faults).
Then I tried to make Family persistent, i. e.
from persistent import Persistent
class Family(Persistent):
...
and I learned subobjects should be persistent, too
from persistent import Persistent
class Person(Persistent)
...
Now when I change family objects in the editform I can do so safely
with foo and bar, but changing Mother's or Father's name results in an
error:
UnpickleableError: Cannot pickle <type 'zope.security._proxy._Proxy'> objects
The complete error log is shown below, too. - It seems to me that
because one has to declare view- (rs. edit-) permissions for Person
<require permission="zope.View"
interface=".iperson.IPerson"
/>
Person is wrapped in a security proxy and therefore family can't be
saved (pickeled) any more. - Any idea how to solve this?
I don't have this problem if I only make Person persistent (not
Family) but of course then I am losing changes to the family
attributes foo and bar.
