QuerySelectWidget wrangling

mikemets · May 16, 2023, 9:57am

I’ve added a new Birthdate column to QuerySelectWidget but now in the pulldown the date appears as a full datetime value with date, time and timezone. Any ideas where I should format that to just display the date part?

Hi Mike,

please use the new implementation here:

github.com/senaite/senaite.core

Integrate new UID reference widget

senaite:2.x ← senaite:new-uidreference-widget

Here you can provide an IReferenceWidgetDataProvider to convert the date into a localized string:

To do the same with the current implementation, you would probably need to override the API URL endpoint and provide a custom version where you provide the data in the right format immediately.

Thanks @ramonski. The new reference widget looks great but I’m going to have to money patch the old one for now to hit my deadline

There is no need to monkey patch. Just set a custom api_url property on your widget and you should be good to go:

github.com

senaite/senaite.core/blob/2.x/src/senaite/core/browser/widgets/queryselect.py#L46


      
          
          
https://github.com/senaite/senaite.core/pull/2177
          """
          security = ClassSecurityInfo()
          _properties = TypesWidget._properties.copy()
          _properties.update({
              "macro": "senaite_widgets/queryselectwidget",
              "query": {},
              "limit": 25,
              "catalog": "portal_catalog",
              "api_url": None,
              "disabled": False,
              "readonly": False,
              "multi_valued": False,
              "allow_user_value": False,
              "search_wildcard": True,
              "value_key": "uid",
              "padding": 3,
              "display_template": None,
              "hide_input_after_select": False,
          })

Just keep in mind that it might be that you have to rework it once the PR is merged.
