[Zope3-Users] Problems in sequences of custom objects display view

[ksmith93940-dev at yahoo.com]

I'm looking into formlib and display widgets. If anyone on the list has an example, I'd love to see it. The following Objects of List example works perfectly for edit view. For the display view it shows the AddressBook schema fine, but shows the Person schema edit form. I've googled all day, but have failed to come up with anything. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks.

    form_fields = form.Fields(IAddressBook, render_context=True)
    form_fields['persons'].custom_widget = persons_widget


class DisplayFormView(form.DisplayForm):
    form_fields = form.Fields(IAddressBook, for_display=True)
    form_fields['persons'].custom_widget = persons_widget

    def __init__( self, title="My Address Book" ):

        # create a default title

        self.title=title



    title = ''

    # don't forget to make lists persistent

    persons = PersistentList()
