A PloneFormGen adapter that will save the data from a form to an actual content type. This way you can still use permissions, workflows, etc on the form data.
Project description
Introduction
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.
Warning
Don’t forgot to enable the adapter after it is added to the form!
Compatibility
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.
Changelog
1.0 - 2011-01-06
New saved data adapter derives from large (BTree) folder instead of regular ones to handle better large numbers of contained items. Upgrade step migrates from obsolete normal/slow folder storage to the new BTree storage. [nguyen]
