[Zope3-Users] A slew of z3c.form questions

Hi,

I'm using z3c.form in Plone via plone.z3cform. The z3c.form 
documentation is very good and very detailed, but I must admit to 
getting a bit lost in all of it. :)

To that end, I have a few questions. I'm creating a pair of add- and 
edit forms for a content item:

  - I've created a few buttons with @button.buttonAndHandler(). However, 
I need to set a different CSS class for each button. What's the easiest 
way to do that?

  - Some fields on the form are provided by the content item. Others can 
come from other schemata. There will be adapters from the context to 
these interfaces. How do it up so that z3c.form uses the appropriate 
adapter to read and write values, including in the add form?

  - I'd like to group widgets together into fieldsets. A fieldset may 
contain widgets from multiple interfaces. All fieldsets will be on the 
same form, in different <fieldset /> tags. Should I look to use groups 
for this? Subforms? Or something else?

That's it for now.

Cheers,
Martin
