Scribo

I have never used Scribo before, but I was wondering if it was capable (or nearly capable) of creating an application that would allow the addition of new arbitrary data entry "fields"?

Basically, I need an arbitrary data collection tool that an end user can customize a bit.

I simply want the end user to be able to select a [new] field "type" (text, yes/no, drop down, etc...) and have the new "field" get added to the browser.

I thought maybe I could hyperlink the field description to a "properties" pane in the browser so they could set the field description, data type( for eventual data export), etc...

I have a few thoughts about positioning elements "easily" within a grid using coordinate "properties," but will be happy for now to just position them linearly one after another!

Anyway, I currently have a domain object that you can add and remove fields to/from, which is subclassed from Ramon's SandstoneDB SDActiveRecord class, so it also knows how to save itself to disk.  For a first draft, I just need a WebApplication object that can track and generate the arbitrary fields stored in the object.  I think I can do this pretty easily, but just wondered if Scribo would be a more robust solution.

This  functionality is provided by the Magritte package -- currently
it can render to Morphic or Seaside, so I guess adding another
rendering component should be achievable.

Thanks...we actually semi-discussed adding an Aida rendering component to Magritte a month or so ago...I still actually think about it a bit, but I don't know enough Morphic or Seaside to be able to understand some working examples that I could try to convert!

I'm thinking about it too. When I'll have some time, maybe we could work
on that together?

Hi guys,

Supporting Magritte in Aida would be very nice, so go on, let we see how
those two could work together.

I got the Magritte tutorial code loaded again in a fresh sq3.10-7159web08.05.2.image.

As I recall, there are all the MAXyzComponent(s) that are rendered in Seaside via a renderViewerOn: html method, but other than that, I'm not sure yet where to start!
