Forms

[José Moreira <jm...@e-terno.net>]

hello, in my company we use apache+ php + postgre and we spend most of the
time building table-manipulation forms ( for insert,update,delete,etc)

is it possible to ( in cocoon ) create standard actions ( or else) to
manipulate a xml file containing the data to be manipulated like the keys,
key fields and what type of html input to atatch ( text, memo, radio, ... )
and more ...

then we whould have a xml file for every dataset needed in a website and 4
'actions' (insert/view/delete/update)called when the situation demanded ?

thanks in advance, contact me if any question resides,

José Moreira

Consider yourself lucky, those actions already exist in cocoon. See
the "modular" database actions (docs provide all info).

You need to provide the form and a database description for
that. Since both, form and description, can be cocoon resources, you
could even generate them from your database meta data.
