I need to do simple forms with zope. The forms are used to do simple queries, such as getting volunteers for organizing an event. The need is just to get a text file that contains the field names and values.
I know how to do the rest, but the problem is where to store the data? (And the data is just the values entered to those forms, no other assumptions.)
The simple way would be to store it in the ZODB. If you need a really quick solution, you can just makenew folder-objects with attributes, or dtml-documents with the form-values as content. i think there is a guestbook or something similar in the basic examples provided with a fresh installation of Zope that works this way. Instantiating objects programatically should be documented in the API reference http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/AppendixB.stx If you need more specific custom objects, you could try Zclasses, or making a simple python product. -- Geir Bækholt
