Extending PloneFormGen

Question

Are there any example add-ons where to look at when one would like to

1) Create custom action adapters for PloneFormGen

2) Add new field types to PloneFormGen

Answer 1

The Plone collective has several examples:

• http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective//Products.PloneFormGen has a directory 'adapters' with two example and 'fields' with one example.

• Grepping through an 'svn ls' of the collective gives these results:

collective.civicrm.civicrmpfgadaptor/
collective.documentpfgadapter/
collective.pfg.creditcardfields/
collective.pfg.downloadfield/
collective.pfg.masterselect/
collective.pfg.silverpop/
collective.pfg.sslfield/
collective.pfg.verkkomaksut/
pfg.donationform/
pfg.drafts/
raptus.multilanguagepfg/
sc.pfg.brazilianfields/
uwosh.pfg.d2c/

Of those, I have seen a lot of activity recently on collective.pfg.verkkomaksut.

Answer 2

All PFG types, adapters etc. are all based on Archetypes. Related example code can be found in PloneFormGen/content. The saveDataAdapter.py or fields.py files provide reasonable example code...

Answer 3

http://plone.org/products/salesforcepfgadapter has some examples, but probably on the more complex side.
