Products.ATCountryWidget 0.2.6

A country widget for Archetypes

Examples

Here is some code that demonstrates how to use those widgets:

---- YourArcheType.py ----

# Import the widget/s:
from Products.ATCountryWidget.Widget import CountryWidget, AreaWidget

# Define the field/s in your schema:
[...]

 StringField(
    'country',
    validators=('isValidISOCountry',),
    widget=CountryWidget(label='Country',
                         provideNullValue=1,   # this is default
                         nullValueTitle='-',   # this is default
                         omitCountries=None,   # this is default, can be a
                                               # list of country codes which
                                               # are not displayed
                         description='Select a country')
 ),

[... and/or ...]

 StringField(
    'area',
    widget=AreaWidget(label='Area',
                      provideNullValue=1,      # this is default
                      nullValueTitle='-',      # this is default
                      description='Select an area')
 ),

[... and/or ...]

 LinesField(
    'countries',
    widget=MultiCountryWidget(label='Countries',
                         omitCountries=None,   # this is default, can be a
                                               # list of country codes which
                                               # are not displayed
                         description='Select countries')
 ),

Use without Archetypes

To use your countrylist in a custom page template outside of an Archetype (e.g. in a search form) you can directly use the API the country tool provides:

<select tal:define="countrytool here/portal_countryutils">
  <option>Choose...</option>
  <optgroup
      label="Western Europe"
      tal:repeat="area countrytool/listAreas"
      tal:attributes="label area/name">
    <option
      value="DE"
      tal:repeat="country area/countries"
      tal:content="country/name"
      tal:attributes="value country/isocc">Germany
    </option>
  </optgroup>
</select>
