plone.app.widgets is a revamp of plone widgets. It does this by overriding the widgets of some of the fields in plone.

Widgets that are overridden in Edit forms are:

• subject
• language
• effectiveDate
• expirationDate
• contributrors
• creators

Currently plone.app.widgets only works with Archetypes, but Dexterity support is planned in next release.

All client side code (javascript/css/images) is done and tested as part of Plone Mockup project.

Any feature / bug / compliment please insert in issue tracker.

For now only tested with Plone 4.3.:

[buildout]
extends = http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3b2/versions.cfg
versions = versions
parts = instance

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
user = admin:admin
http-address = 8080
eggs =
    Pillow
    Plone
    plone.app.widgets[archetypes]
zcml =
    plone.app.widgets

[versions]
plone.app.jquery = 1.8.3
plone.app.search = 1.1.2
plone.app.vocabularies = 2.1.10

plone.app.widgets provides view @@widgets-demo which will render examples of zope.schema fields and plone.app.z3cform widgets (Dexterity).

To see the examples go on your Plone site:

http://localhost:8080/Plone/@@widgets-demo

External packages can add widgets to the demo by inheriting and registering a demo form snippet. For examples, see plone.app.widgets.demos source code.
