Re: [Rails] Re: Creating a Dynamic/Custom form

Not sure if it's the best way, but here's an idea. For each custom form, use some combination of serialized db fields (one to hold the form meta-data (field-types, field names, etc.) and a corresponding field to hold the data.

Can anyone shed some details or point me in the correct direction?

In a nutshell I am trying to get the users in my app to create and use
web forms. I found a great jQuery example, I just have no idea how-to
save the form structure to db then render it and saving users answers/
options to the rendered form.

Hi Colin, sorry I am probably not using proper terminology. I have a
subdomin type rails application. I am trying to get the administrator
users of the subdomain account to create an HTML form, something
similar to phpform.org.

What is a form control type?


- Select required validation


What does that mean


- Select price change if selected


Don't understand that either, sorry.
In fact I don't understand what you mean by the app admin *creating* a form.

How should I even start going at this?
