TheBoard

[John Mettraux]

Hello,

I've started a sample rails3 + ruote (ruote-kit) + quaderno (http://github.com/jmettraux/quaderno) application at :

http://github.com/jmettraux/theboard

It's very incomplete (especially CSS-wise) for now, but it should get better.

It combines task management and form management. The auth/auth model is minimal (meant to be replaced by whatever suits your needs).

It should become a good ruote example.

Stay tuned,

John, we are doing something very similar to this except we are using
extjs to generate our form objects. We have a "form builder" which
uses a drag and drop "tree" structure to build the form objects. Form
data can persist in route or in the database. Forms post back into a
workitems controller and it launches the process and persists the
data. Its all still pretty primitive but it sounds similar to what you
are doing. Its all very meta which creates some interesting problems
around data persistence and testing. I am interested in how you
approached the problem.

I am pulling down the project now.

Thanks
E

Hello Eric,

thanks for sharing the info.

TheBoard has just been merged into ruote-on-rails by Torsten :

http://groups.google.com/group/openwferu-users/browse_thread/thread/fdec503ba2302c49

In the short term I will nuke TheBoard itself, and continue developing it inside of ruote-on-rails.

I'm looking forward having a look at the drag-and-drop extjs form builder, sounds exciting. The form builder thing in the board is done by quaderno (http://github.com/jmettraux/quaderno).

All the best,

[Eric]

Here is a link to youtube for a look at the Form builder using extjs
and ruote-kit. As I said before its still very primitive but it works.

Congratulations, it looks beautiful (http://www.onit.com/) !

I liked the "behind the scenes" with ruote-kit at minute 3, it looks very rough compared to Onit :-)

Cheers,
