jyu.z3cform.placeholder 1.0 Beta 3

jyu.z3cform.placeholder is a Plone module that integrates jQuery Watermark for z3c.form on Plone by

 1. registering jquery.watermark's JavaScript and CSS
 2. introducing ''placeholder''-directive to be used in schemas
 3. registering value adapter to for annotated placeholder value
 4. registering custom JavaScript to initialize watermarks

I wonder, if this product should've been named ''formwidget''-something...

Example of Use

from zope import schema

from plone.directives import form

from jyu.z3cform.placeholder.directives import placeholder

from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageFactory as ZopeMessageFactory
_ = ZopeMessageFactory("my.domain")

class MyForm(form.Schema):
 """An example form
 """
 placeholder(subject=_u("Type something here.."))
 subject = schema.TextLine(
 title=_(u"Subject"),
 description=_("Subject of this submission"),
 required=True,
 )

Overlay Support

When you register custom form overlays in your custom JavaScript, you'd like to include placeholder support in your JavaScript like:

$(document).ready(function() {
 $($('#my-form-link').prepOverlay({
 subtype: 'ajax',
 cssclass: 'content',
 formSelector: 'form',
 width: '40em',
 }).attr("rel")).bind("onLoad", function() {
 $(this).find("form .field").placeholder_z3cform();
 });
});
