[Zope3-Users] schema field for an Image?

Hi,

In such case, I use custom widget.

"""
from zope.app.form.browser.textwidgets import FileWidget
from zope.app.file.image import Image
class MyImageWidget(FileWidget):
  class_ = Image
  def _toFieldValue(self, input):
    value = super(_toFieldValue, self)._toFieldValue(input)
    return self.class_(value)

from zope.formlib import form
class MyEditForm(form.PageEditForm):
  form_fields = form.FormFields(IMyContent)
  form_fields['image'].custom_widget = MyImageWidget
"""

And there is widget subdirective in addform/editform directives in zcml.
