     4 How to create a Paragraph type?
       
     5 ===============================

     7 Paragraphs or Blocks are components that contain elements/fields and provide one or many renderer methods to compose

    10 
       
    11 Create a Paragraph
       
    12 """"""""""""""""""
       
    13 
       
    14 In this example we will create a contact paragraph to display at the user, who to contact.
       
    15 
       
    16 1) Interface
       
    17 ------------
       
    18 
       
    19 At first we create a new paragraph interface.
       
    20 
       
    21 .. code-block:: python
       
    22 
       
    23     CONTACT_PHONE_PARAGRAPH_TYPE = 'PhoneContact'
       
    24     CONTACT_PHONE_PARAGRAPH_RENDERERS = 'PyAMS.paragraph.contact.phone.renderers'
       
    25 
       
    26 
       
    27     class IContactPhoneParagraph(IBaseParagraph):
       
    28     """Contact with phone number paragraph interface"""
       
    29 
       
    30     name = TextLine(title=_("Contact identity"),
       
    31                     description=_("Name of the contact"),
       
    32                     required=True)
       
    33 
       
    34     photo = ImageField(title=_("Photo"),
       
    35                        description=_("Use 'browse' button to select contact picture"),
       
    36                        required=False)
       
    37 
       
    38     phone = TextLine(title=_("Phone Number"),
       
    39                      description=_("Name of the contact", required=False))
       
    40 
       
    41     renderer = Choice(title=_("Contact template"),
       
    42                       description=_("Presentation template used for this contact"),
       
    43                       vocabulary=CONTACT_PHONE_PARAGRAPH_RENDERERS,
       
    44                       default='default')
       
    45 
       
    46 
       
    47 
       
    48 
       
    49 2) Implement the interface
       
    50 --------------------------
       
    51 
       
    52 An implementation of the interface
       
    53 
       
    54 .. code-block:: python
       
    55 
       
    56     @implementer(IContactPhoneParagraph)
       
    57     @factory_config(provided=IContactPhoneParagraph)
       
    58     class ContactPhoneParagraph(BaseParagraph):
       
    59         """Contact paragraph"""
       
    60 
       
    61 
       
    62         icon_class = 'fa-phone'
       
    63         icon_hint = _("Phone number card")
       
    64 
       
    65         name = FieldProperty(IContactPhoneParagraph['name'])
       
    66         _photo = FileProperty(IContactPhoneParagraph['photo'])
       
    67 
       
    68         renderer = FieldProperty(IContactParagraph['renderer'])
       
    69 
       
    70         @property
       
    71         def photo(self):
       
    72             return self._photo
       
    73 
       
    74         @photo.setter
       
    75         def photo(self, value):
       
    76             self._photo = value
       
    77             if IImage.providedBy(self._photo):
       
    78                 alsoProvides(self._photo, IResponsiveImage)
       
    79 
       
    80 
       
    81 3) Renderers Vocabulary
       
    82 -----------------------
       
    83 
       
    84 The list of rendered available for a paragraph is build automatically and is based on adapters that provide this interface
       
    85 
       
    86 .. code-block:: python
       
    87

    89     class ContactParagraphRendererVocabulary(RenderersVocabulary):
       
    90         """Contact Phone paragraph renderers vocabulary"""
       
    91 
       
    92         content_interface = IContactPhoneParagraph

   100 Paragraph in the ZMI
       
   101 """"""""""""""""""""
       
   102 
       
   103 
       
   104 To display and manage the new paragraph in the ZMI, you should create this associated forms
       
   105 
       
   106 1) Paragraph factory
       
   107 --------------------
       
   108 
       
   109 To create a new element instance inside the zodb, we need a container to this object. PyAMS provide
       
   110 `IParagraphContainerTarget`, it's the default container for all paragraphs. We could use this container interface
       
   111 as context to create a new paragraph.
       
   112 
       
   113

   156 --------------------------------------------------
       
   157 
       
   158 We have created a new form and we want add a quick access button to create a new paragraph

   244 How to associate links or Illustrations to a Paragraph ?
       
   245 ========================================================
       
   246 
       
   247 Adding the following marker interface, we add new behavior to the Paragraph `ContactPhoneParagraph` .

   250 Paragraph advanced
       
   251 """"""""""""""""""
       
   252 
       
   253 You can attach Associated files, links or illustration and manage them directly through the rubric `Links and Attachments`.

   259 ----------------------------------------
       
   260 
       
   261 To "activate" this features the paragrath object must to implement specific interface

   273 These interfaces will allow to link other data to the paragraph.
