Package README (CVS ver. 1.1.1.1)

ArchAddOn

    Straightforward toolbox of field types, widgets, and validators for
    Archetypes.

    Please feel free to add your own new fields, widgets, and validators
    here, if you think they are general-purpose. I intend for this to be
    not sample or learning archetypes add ons (ArchExample is for that),
    but real-world usable toolbox pieces.

    At this time, this requires the most recent CVS of Archetypes
    (since that uses a new model for custom widget view macros). This
    should become mainstream for Archetypes 1.3 branch and better.


Features

    * New Fields for:

      - USAddress

      - USPhoneNumber

      - Email

      - Link

      - Instruction (only shows description on edit form, for adding sectional
        help or other HTML markup to an edit form)

      - DynamicField. This is a textual field that can contain TALES
        expressions which are evaluated. So you can add a "body" field to
        a schema that is of this type, and have it be a mix of HTML content
        and TALES expressions (just like in a ZPT).

    * Matching widgets for these types

    * Validators:

      - FormattedUSPhoneValidator: (999) 999-9999

      - USAddressValidator
