Hi,

I'm currently toying with the idea of a user definable form. This would
allow a site administrator to create new forms to capture various data, and
report on the data in the admin section.

I've got the basic data structure, being a forms table, having many
form_fields, each having one form_field_type, and storing information into
form_field_responses

There are 2 approaches I'm playing with to do this.

Approach 1 would be a simple helper which can be used to autogenerate the
form. This would require the data for the form structure to be passed to the
view in each method.

Approach 2 is to use a behavior with a generateForm method that overwrites
$_schema (based on form_fields and form_field_type) to facilitate auto-form
generation leveraging the form helper's inputs() method.

anyone got any thoughts on the best approach for this sort of thing?
