different flavours of the same form with cforms

[Stefan Burkard <ne...@burknet.ch>]

hi cocoon-users

i'd like to create different flavours of a contact-form with cocoon 
forms. all flavours have some fields in common (name, e-mail, ...) but 
most of the flavours have also specialised fields. for example the form 
to submit new links has a field to type a link.

so, is it possible to create for all the flavours just one form-model?

i think the problem is that i'd like to hide for example the link-field 
for all forms but the link-form. however, IN the link-form the field has 
to be shown and it has to be a required field!

is this possible? has anybody done this already?

thanks and greetings
stefan

One approach which I've used is to generate the CForms input files (the 
form definition, the form template and optionally the form binding) via 
an XSL transformation. That gives you all the flexibility you could 
want, although you do have to be careful with the correpsonding flowscript.

Hope that helps,
Vil.
