PloneFormGen 1.0.3

PloneFormGen provides a generic Plone form generator using fields, widgets and validators from Archetypes.

Actions like mailing or saving form input are incorporated by included plug-in adapters.

This product provides a generic Plone form generator using fields, widgets and validators from Archetypes. It makes it possible to build simple contact, information-gathering or data-entry forms through Plones interface.

To use it, create a form folder, then add form fields as contents. Individual fields can display and validate themselves for testing purposes. The form folder creates a form from all the contained field content objects.

Final disposition of form input is handled via plug in action products. Action adapters included with this release include a mailer and a save-data adapter that saves input in tab-separated format for later download. When you first add a form folder, its configured as simple response form with input mailed to the owner.

Since PloneFormGenerator uses Archetypes fields, widgets and validators, its also a good tool for rapidly prototyping forms intended for use with Archetypes-derived content types.
