Re: [pmwiki-users] Fwd: Do I need Zap or Fox?

I like the 'delete' button that comes with AddDeleteLine2, but really also want an 'edit' button that calls the data from that line of table back to the form and then allows it to be updated. Fox adds a few features to AddDeleteLine2, mostly features implemented in CommentBoxPlus, to make it a more flexible for building comment forms, blogs, simple forums etc. As others said it is primarily for adding content to a page (same page or different target page). It allows insertion of a delete button for deleting the posted content later, but it has for now no facility to add an edit button or link for editing the posted content (and not editing the whole page). Cookbook/SectionEdit may be used to add this feature I would think. To add and delete lines in a table with a form input both AddDeleteLine2 and Fox are equally suited. To edit individual lines in the table I don't know. SectionEdit may not be able to do this, since lines are not sections. But I have not investigated the possibilities here. If anyone has ideas how to add editing of lines and sections to Fox i would be very interested. ZAP is based on creating a new data pages for each posting of new content, and then using pagelists to integrate the content to be viewed on a single page.

I suspect probably both Zap and Fox will do what I need, but I am tempted to go with Zap just because it has nice documentation for a semi-novice like myself... What are the differences between the two? I can't make it out from their cookbook pages! My understanding is that Fox is for adding content to a given page (and deleting it); which is useful for adding comments and forums and things like that. Zap is oriented towards editing data pages with forms, not adding additional content to pages. I'm not entirely sure which one would be better for your purposes.

Fox is probably more what you are looking for as I think it is designed specifically for what you have in mind. You can do the same thing in ZAP using its log function, and it might be a better option if you want to use some of ZAP's various other functions, but I'm out of town again another week and won't be able to provide much support. And Hans is good at providing support for Fox. Another good reason to take a look at Fox. To summarize the difference between Fox and ZAP, I would say ZAP is a multipurpose forms processing engines with many capabilities that can be used for many kinds of applications. Fox has one specific purpose--inserting content into a page. Hope this helps.
