In that case you can use the generic resource and query routines.

The messages are posted over the MQTT message bus to the server (and back to the client). You can use “wired” events for which we have all kinds of actions. Or you can use (or bind) topics to post messages to the server (models). > - Render forms to CRU the Resource Category We don’t have routines to automatically generate forms. > Before starting getting my hands dirty with Zotonic, > I am asking if such a thing is possible (I believe so). > > For example, let's say my resource category is a Material, that has a color > and a name. > Can the Material be presented in the Zotonic admin interface as if it is NOT > a page? > Or must everything be a page? Our philosophy is that everything is a thing. That is until it isn’t. For example with payments, which need specific administration and access. For those we add extra pages and menu items in the admin. > That is my only concern, IIUC Zotonic is specific for blogs? No it is a generic content management framework, geared towards semantic data.
