I'm working on a behavior that would allow the user to select constrained types in a container, instead of relying on the 'Restrictions menu'.
However, I want to use this with container types whose FTI don't have these ISelectableConstrainTypes listed as a behavior. In order to do this, I think I need to apply IConstrainTypes and ISelectableConstrainTypes behaviors to the instance.
There is a product, collective.instancebehavior, but I don't want to include another behavior to a type.
So I tried following collective.instancebehavior's code and came up with this:
#behavior interface that contains a list of choices of portal types for the user to select, assigned through .xml
class ICustomConstrainedTypes(model.Schema):
constrained_types = schema.Choice(title=u"Constrained types",
required=False,
vocabulary=u"plone.app.vocabularies.PortalTypes",
)
#event for setting constrained types on on the object for added/modified events
def set_constrained_types(obj, event):
if obj.constrained_types:
if not IConstrainTypes.providedBy(obj):
alsoProvides(obj, IConstrainTypes)
if not ISelectableConstrainTypes.providedBy(obj):
alsoProvides(obj, ISelectableConstrainTypes)
#Test Constrain Types Mode provided
if IConstrainTypes.providedBy(obj):
print(obj.getConstrainTypesMode())
While the condition providedBy returns True, it breaks with saying that getConstrainTypesMode is not an attribute of the object:

There's another interesting thing that happens when I remove the print statement and just hit save. In the object view, the tool bar menu is replaced with an error message:
error while rendering plone.contentviews
and in the terminal, it shows the error:

What I'm trying to do may seem redundant, but am I possibly on the right track or not at all?
