[Zope3-Users] Dynamic interfaces ?

[Thierry Florac]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to handle what I've called "dynamic interfaces".
My problem is quite simple : I have an application where an
administrator can define "content types" ; for each content type, a set
of common predefined attributes are used, but the administrator can
define for each content type a set of custom attributes, each attribute
being defined by a name, a datatype (text, textline, date, boolean...)
and eventually a list of references values (for choices) ; definition of
these custom attributes is persistent and stored in the ZODB.
When creating data, contributor can select the data type, according to
which the matching set of attributes will be available in forms.

The main point is probably that I'd like to use z3c.form package "as
usual", and so integrate this attributes management into Zope3
interfaces machinery... ; I suppose I should need a king of "interface
factory", but couldn't find any link about that.

Thanks for any help,

  Thierry Florac
