CRUD Screens

I wanted to generate CRUD screens using velocity from the XML file that 
defines the database in Turbine.  2 questions:
1.  Is there an easy way to generate Velocity CRUD screens?
2.  My error when doing this.  I could not pass a velocity variable to a 
velocity function where the the velocity function was to be included in the 
template.  For instance: To produce this line for differnt pages you want 
the action to be a variable like ${TableName}Insert instead of SQL 
everytime.

<form method="post" action="$link.setPage("Index.vm").setAction("SQL")">

Velocity won't allow the this.  Any ideas?

Thank you,
Brian

If I understand you correctly, try this:
  #set($action = "${TableName}Insert")
  <form method="post"
action="$link.setPage("Index.vm").setAction($action)">

Hope this helps,

First, is this more of a Turbine question? If so, you will have better luck
on the turbine lists.

Second, re the Velocity part, what won't it allow?
