Lastest release
menhir.contenttype.file provides a content type for Dolmen based Grok applications.
Schema
The menhir.contenttype.file provides a very simple schema, extending the IDescriptiveSchema interface, from dolmen.app.content:
>>> from dolmen.app.content import IDescriptiveSchema >>> from menhir.contenttype.file import IFile >>> IFile.isOrExtends(IDescriptiveSchema) True
The IFile interface describes the data field, that is to hold the uploaded file or given bytes:
>>> for attr, doc in IFile.namesAndDescriptions(): ... print attr, ':', doc data : <dolmen.file.field.FileField object at ...>
This IFile is directly provided by the File object, as defines it as its schema:
>>> from menhir.contenttype.file import File >>> from dolmen.content import Content >>> somefile = File(title=u"My nice file", data="Some file data") >>> IFile.providedBy(somefile) True >>> from dolmen.content import schema >>> IFile in schema.bind().get(somefile) True >>> somefile.title u'My nice file'
Storage
The file uses a Blob storage for the data:
>>> somefile.data <dolmen.blob.file.BlobValue object at ...> >>> print somefile.data.data Some file data
Icon
The content registers an icon, thanks to the dolmen.app.content package:
>>> from zope.component import getMultiAdapter >>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest >>> request = TestRequest() >>> icon = getMultiAdapter((somefile, request), name="icon") >>> print icon <zope.browserresource.icon.IconView object at ...>
