PloneFormGen mailer adapter subject override examples?

Plone Support
1

I haven't been able to locate any examples of override TAL expressions for the PFG mailer adapter. I'd like to have the subject of the email be:

"New sponsor: " + here/organization-name

but I don't see a way to concatenate using non-python: TAL and

python: "New sponsor: " + here['organization-name']

results in TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'Acquisition.ImplicitAcquisitionWrapper' objects

because the latter expression is actually an FGStringField, and

python: "New sponsor: " + (here['organization-name'])()

results in

Even the very simple expression here/organization-name results in the same error stack trace.

When I stepped through displayInputs it seems that self is the string field instead of (when there is no override expression) being the form folder.

If here['organization-name'] is a field, you may be able to get the value with something like here['organization-name'].get(here).

If 'organization-name' is an attribute of an object, not a key in a dictionary, try getattr: getattr(here, 'organization-name')

Also ... don't forget the "string:" semantics in TALES: "string: New sponsor: ${here/organization-name}".

Thanks guys!

organization-name is the ID of the PFG string field

python: "New sponsor: " + here['organization-name'].get(here)

and

python: "New sponsor: " + (here['organization-name']).get(here)

(wrapped in parens, just in case) both result in:

TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

while

string: New sponsor: ${here/organization-name}

results in that same trace inside displayInputs():

This is Products.PloneFormGen 1.8.1 and Plone 5.0.8

Are you sure og is the syntax. I think you just dont get the fields

Tåken from memory: I though it was:

Request.form.fieldname

Kisses all around! That was the answer :slight_smile:

string: New sponsor: ${request/form/organization-name}

and

python: "New sponsor: " + request.form['organization-name']

worked. I am going to add this to the PFG docs. I could have sworn I'd seen examples of this before (specifically the request/form construct).

I wasn't aware of this syntax... but it makes sense – it's chameleon, isn't it? Old dog, new tricks, etc.
