Hi all, I'm involved with a project that requires many wizards to collect information. I could build these wizards by hand or develop a module to generate them. It needs to be slick i.e. loads each step using AJAX, given certain answers show or hide questions, client-side and server-side validation, tips, etc...
I have considered jFormer (http://www.jformer.com/) is what I'm wanting but the server side is written in PHP. I was thinking about using this framework and writing the server side Python code. It's not clear to me how crazy this idea is. I have also considered Formee (http://www.formee.org/) and writing the server-side Python from scratch. My other consideration is to build something around the Form object in gluon. The design I'm thinking is along these lines: w = wizardary.Wizard(id='personal_details') w.add_step(1, 'Name') w.add_step(2, 'Address') w.step[1].add_text_input('Firstname', id='firstname') w.step[1].add_text_input('Surname', id='lastname') w.step[1].add_radio_input('Gender', [['Male', 'm'], ['Female', 'f']], style='stack') w.step[2].add_address_input('Postal Address', id='postal', style='US') w.step[2].add_checkbox_input('Is your billing address different from your postal address?', id='billing_address_different') w.step[2].add_address_input('Billing Address', id='postal', style='US', default='hidden', js=[['show_hide', 'billing_address_different', [True], [False]]) Does anyone have any thought on these approaches? Also should I develop this as an independent Python module that gets imported into Web2Py? Thanks for your thoughts.
