Guess formstyle from the widget code

[Bruno Rocha]

Hi,

I am coding a patch to add LABEL(for-...) to Radio, Checkbox and Upload Fields in sqlhtml.py

Today, this widgets uses <TABLE> to render, but it is not good because we can have FORMSTYLE = 'divs' or 'ul'

I am thinking about some options.

A way to check formstyle from the widget? (is there?)

Include a global setting to check. i.e if ...settings.widget_style = 'divs'

Or (the better option IMO) include a new attribute to Field. Field.widget_style

so we can check for field.widget_style from the widget and render as 'div', 'ul' or the default <table> (to not break anything)

Any ideas?

Custom widgets with LABEL(for=)

I need to think about this. Let's here some more opinions meanwhile.

I notice that many of the widgets take **attributes, but I don't think there is an (easy) way to pass arguments to the widget in Field(..., widget=...). It might be nice to be able to do so, in which case, maybe the relevant widgets could take a 'style' argument. Could still be helpful if they adopt the style of the form by default.

Using lambda to customize it, this an idea how can be coded

Table:

render_fieldzone = lambda label, value, comment: TR(TD(label),TD(value),TD(comment))

render_tablezone = lambda fields: TABLE(fields) 

UL:

render_fieldzone = lambda label, value, comment: LI(LABEL(label),value,comment)

render_tablezone = lambda fields: UL(fields) 

DIV:

render_fieldzone = lambda label, value, comment: DIV(DIV(label,_class='fieldlabel'),DIV(value,_class='fieldvalue'),DIV(comment,_class='comment'),_class='fieldrow')

render_tablezone = lambda fields: DIV(fields) 

for dbfield in dbfields:

fields.append(render_fieldzone(dbfield.label, dbfield.value, dbfield.comment))

If you send this patch, I missed it.
