Who is interested in a configurable forms plugin?

Who is interested in a configurable forms plugin?

Basically the idea is to make (as a start) a simple gui frontend to building symfony forms. Through reflection, the gui will provide a list of available widgets and validators which you can drag and drop together (and configure options) to build a form, and then save and use it. To start, it will only go as far as posting to a configurable url, but later I would like to add saving to a database table (common for all forms made with the gui), finally progressing to using doctrine models.

I'd love any comments/advise before I start.

When the going gets scary, the scared get scarce.

future.

+1 also. If we could have something also to easier the hassle of
embedded form, dynamic addition of embedded forms (later), simple
set / unset fields of data model, order of fields.

Hi!

I started to do something like this but without Reflection.
Here is the code :

http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfFormGuiPlugin

http://code.google.com/p/sfformguiplugin/

It's maybe outdated for sf1.4 but you could maybe pick up some things,
and if you're interested, I can make a write access to this
repository.

Florian.

This feature is a must. You should create a plugin right now and
invite us to contribute.
