[Product-Developers] Re: managing vocabularies for dexterity types

[athomerson]

Kees,
I have used some code that A. Clark wrote as the template for the vocabulary
stuff I am writing for my Dexterity types.  The code looks like this:


@grok.provider(IContextSourceBinder)
def salutations(context):
    
    terms = []
    
    pprop = getToolByName(context, 'portal_properties')
    for t in pprop.client_properties.salutations:
        terms.append(SimpleVocabulary.createTerm(t, str(t), t))
    return SimpleVocabulary(terms)

class IClient(form.Schema):
    """A client. Clients have multiple addresses.
    """
    
    salutation = schema.Choice(
            title=_(u"Salutation"),
            source=salutations,
            required=False,
        )
And then in the profiles/default directory I have a "propertiestool.xml"
file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

 
  <property name="title">ins.client Property Sheet</property>
  <property name="salutations" type="lines" purge="False">
   <element value="Mr."/>
   <element value="Ms."/>
   <element value="Dr."/>
   <element value="Rev."/>
  </property>
 


I think the "purge" property keeps any changes from being lost on a
re-install.  I can then create a view with the appropriate permissions to
update the property sheet (just to keep things neat and users out of the
ZMI).
