Provide a means to design forms from the web interface.

Form Classes Swiss Magic Data Editor

Define and edit the form Classes available in the system.

I2CE_Swiss_FormClasses

This is the root swiss node for the form classes interface and will be associated (via the I2CE_Page_SwissMagic) to the /modules/forms/formClasses magic data node.

Functionality:

• lists all the available form classes
  • These are keys of the sub magic data nodes of /modules/forms/formClasses and can be determeined as getStorage()->getKeys()
• allow the creation of a new form class by specifying:
  • the class name
  • the class that it extends (Defaults to I2CE_Form). should be a drop down list of the available classess

All of this children have type I2CE_Swiss_FormClass

I2CE_Swiss_FormClass

This is the the swiss node associated to each of the subclasses of I2CE_Form If has the following functionality:

• links to the fields menu

The child 'fields' has type FormClass_Fields

I2CE_Swiss_FormClasss_Fields

Container swiss node to hold all of the fields. Functionality:

• lists all the fields in this class
• allow you to add a new field to this class by specifying
  • a short name for the field
  • the subclass of I2CE_FormField which implements this field
  • A default header (this will be passed to the I2CE_Swiss_FormClass_Field_Headers)

Each child of this node has type FormClass_Field

=I2CE_Swiss_FormClass_Field

This is the swiss node responsible for defining the field in a form class. Corresponds to the magic data node /modules/forms/formClasses/$class/fields/$field. Functionality:

    • if a mapped field, what is the (default) displayed fields for tiered lists (e.g. county, district, region country) this should be done in a nice drop-down interface to choose the form/linked field.
  • if if it is a list form, what are the primary and secondary display fields:
    • need to move the code for defining primary/secondary display fields out of the class constants and into magic data and adjust the hooked method into the class autoloader to allow for constants or move the display fields
