The basic form fields that PloneFormGen provides
Following are the basic form field content types that PloneFormGen provides:
- Boolean Field
- A true/false field, which will be rendered as a checkbox widget.
- Date/Time Field
- A field to store date/time values. Will render with the standard Plone date/time widget.
- File Field
- Allows you to upload a file. Files will be e-mailed as attachments by the mail adapter.
- Fixed-Point Field
- Use this when you want a numeric response that might include a decimal point.
- Integer Field
- A field for storing a normal integer. This is the best field to use for simple numerical responses.
- Label Field
- A simple label and help text with no data-entry field.
- Lines Field
- A field that allows the user to submit multiple lines of text. The save-data adapter will separate lines with newline codes.
- Multi-Select Field
- A field that allows the user to choose one or more values from a list. Can render using a multi-select box or as a list of checkboxes. (The latter is generally more usable.)
- Password Field
- A field that displays "*" when the user types; good for submitting passwords or other sensitive data.
- Rich Label Field
- A field with no input, just a HTML-formatted label. Useful for adding descriptive text to your form.
- Selection Field
- A field that lets a user choose a single value from a list. Can render as a selection list, a dropdown menu or as a list of radio buttons.
- String Field
- A field that lets a user input a single line of text. This is the standard general-purpose text field.
- Text Field
- A field that lets a user submit a longer chunk of text. Renders as a multi-line text box.
