uwosh.pfg.(d)ata(2)(c)ontent
This product provides a dynamic content type to store PloneFormGen form data into. It leverages schemaextenders ability to dynamically add extra fields on a content type so that you essentially get a persistent copy of your form.
The product adds a “Save Data to Content Adapter” item to the “Add new..” drop down for the PloneFormGen Form. Once enabled, when a user submits a form, a new content item is created with that data and located in the adapter.
Upon save data adapter creation, user can choose to use any content type that has ‘uwosh.pfg.d2c’ configured as the ‘product’ in the FTI, to store the form submission.
So besides the original FormSaveData2ContentEntry, its clone types can also be used to store form data - whether added to types tool via code, genericsetup profile or by manually copying the FormSaveData2ContentEntry FTI in portal_types tool (and then renaming it appropriately).
The type names can be translated simply by adding them to plone.po in the language-specific locale/LC_MESSAGES subdirectory.
Don’t forget to enable the adapter after it is added to the form!
Compatible with versions of PloneFormGen >= 1.2.2 and Plone 3.x -> 4.0.
Version 1.0 derives the new D2C saved data adapter from the BTree folder class. This allows Plone 3.x sites to handle larger numbers of content items inside the D2C objects. There is an upgrade step that allows pre-1.0 D2C objects to get migrated to BTree storage. Version 1.0 also works with Plone 4. However, if you have a Plone 3.x site that uses pre-1.0 D2C and you upgrade to Plone 4 and only then upgrade to 1.0+ D2C, the upgrade step that migrates D2C storage to BTree storage may not work. We recommend that you first upgrade to 1.0+ D2C then upgrade to Plone 4.
