Form Tool

Post by jack_indigo »

I have a project coming up and they have like 2 or 3 custom forms. That's all they need a backend admin system for. I was thinking of Drupal for the admin backend, but then thought naaah -- could do better than that, with something even more user friendly.

Do you know of a downloadable product that's a Form Tool? It needs to be client-friendly (as in easy enough for a 6th grade education)? I just need to be able to draw some forms for my client, and they come in different styles. For instance: Advertisement, Listing, and Company Info forms. It needs to provide a user-friendly CRUD interface, search capability, and a way for me as an admin to build the forms and put the fields in that I need such as richtext, attached image, listbox, text field, checkbox, etc.

If I had such a tool, then I could simply draw/code the front-end and pull records from this backend form tool.

If you don't know of such a thing, then I really need to build one of these because I see it can be something I'll reuse over and over.

Hi Jack

Coffee Cup has something you might want to look at.

Just a drag and drop and Viola a form.

As far as code is concerned I'm using Blumenthal's Rapid Php
which can drop in form code and create text boxes etc.
