[z3-five] future z3 development for plone / resourcelibrary alternatives

[Dennis Schulz]

Hi everybody,

I started to build a webapplication with Plone 2.5.1, Zope 2.9.5, Five 
1.4.2 using zope 3 elements such as formlib and zc.table.

One of the big problems I stumbled into is that a lot of zope 3 
components and widgets such as datetimewidget depend on 
zc.resourcelibrary which can't be used in the newest available plone 
version 2.5.1, so the generated forms by formlib are very basic, usually 
mainly text fields..........
I found a component called "cpsresourcelibrary" which is said to run 
under zope 2 but I couldn't get it to run in accordance with the widgets 
until now.

Any suggestions for a replacement of zc.resourcelibrary in 2.5 Plone 
development?

I read on the Plone.org that Plone 3 will be released in March and will 
include Zope 3.3 completly.
So I was thinking of developing the application in zope 3 completly. But 
this would only make sense if it is more or less sure, that the 
application will run on Plone 3 without any bigger problems.

The probably easier way to get it on Plone right now would be to forget 
about formlib generation, make the forms myself still using the zope 3 
views, adapters and permissions etc........
