I name it as the attribute + s. - For example, I use cns for the cn attribute. - - If you need a new validator use a ForEach() so that each value is - checked. - - This attribute is populated from the incoming attribute from the - user or group record. The widget can support multiple fields at once - but I'm using it for just one field. In fact, I don't know if it - will work with more the way I'm using it. - - In the GUI an operator can add/remove values to each multi-valued field. - - Naming is very important in the widget. TurboGears automatically - re-assembles the data into a list of dict entries if you name things - properly. For example, the cns (multiple CN entries) looks like: - cns-0.cn=Rob+Crittenden&cns-1.cn=Robert+Crittenden&cns-2.cn=rcrit - - This gets converted to: - [{'cn': u'Rob Crittenden'}, {'cn': u'Robert Crittenden'}, {'cn': u'rcrit'}] - - I take this list of dicts and pull out each value and append it to a new - list that represents the original multi-valued field - - Then the list/dict version is removed (in this case, kw['cns']). - -When adding a new field you have to update: - -1. The form to add the new ExpandingForm() field and perhaps a validator -2. The edit template to add the boilerplate to display the field -3. The show template to be able to display all the fields separately -4. The new template if you want to be able to enter these on new entries -5. The subcontroller so you can do the input and output conversions |
