Soup Storage for PloneFormGen Form Data

This PloneFormGen Storage Adapter saves and index form-data in so called soup. A soup is an unstructured flat storage containing records with attributes (form-data). Attributes are indexed in an repoze.catalog. Thus complex queries on the data are possible.

It ships with an full-featured table view based on jquery.datatables. Datatables server-side processing enables to have large datasets processed. It provides a search over all columns and by single columns. Each column can be sorted.

Additional to the form data userid and timestamp of creations is logged.

A row can be edited. After save modification-timestamp, userid and changed fields are logged.

CSV-Export of all data is possible, including creators userid, creation- and last-modified-timestamp if selected.
