Release notes ------------- Fixed bug #4407, addFormHeader no longer works in 0.16.0 Fixed notices in QuickForm.php related to member vars Fixed __ALL__ value in ini file for excludeFromAutoRules getting changed to __ALL__ Fixed bug #4440, Appended forms does not contain rules and errors Added fieldsRequired option to set non NOT NULL fields as required automatically Added support for multiple crossLink and tripleLink elements to the same table in one form Changed linkNewValue to use a SubForm element and a group instead of PopupSelect Removed PopupSelect as it's no longer used Package Info ------------- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder will aid you in rapid application development using the packages DB_DataObject and HTML_QuickForm. For having a quick but working prototype of your application, simply model the database, run DataObject's createTable script over it and write a script that passes one of the resulting objects to the FormBuilder class. The FormBuilder will automatically generate a simple but working HTML_QuickForm object that you can use to test your application. It also provides a processing method that will automatically detect if an insert() or update() command has to be executed after the form has been submitted. If you have set up DataObject's links.ini file correctly, it will also automatically detect if a table field is a foreign key and will populate a selectbox with the linked table's entries. There are many optional parameters that you can place in your DataObjects.ini or in the properties of your derived classes, that you can use to fine-tune the form-generation, gradually turning the prototypes into fully-featured forms, and you can take control at any stage of the process.
