Formulator

Formulator is an extensible framework that eases the creation and validation of web forms.

Note that Formulator versions 1.11.3 and later require Zope 2.10 or later to function. Unfortunately this was not mentioned in the INSTALL.txt for 1.11.3, 1.11.4 and 1.11.5.

• Check out Formulator from SVN like this:

Important hint

Don't ever use field_<fieldname>; anything prefixed with field_ in REQUEST is a Formulator implementation detail. Instead, don't forget to validate the form, for instance using validate_all_to_request(). See the Formulator API help and Howto for more information. Forgetting to validate the form is the most frequently made Formulator mistake that I've encountered.
