CMS Form example

This module is a demonstration of the CMS Form framework: it shows how website forms for contacts can be built and displayed. It does not add new business rules, but it does add real web pages and form behaviour.

What users can do: - Open a website page to add a new contact or edit an existing one, with fields for name, country and tags (categories). Name is mandatory. - Use a version of the same form where fields are grouped into sections titled "Main" and "Secondary". - Use a tabbed version of that form, where the sections appear as tabs. - Browse a public listing of contacts and search it by name and country. - Use an Ajax version of the listing, where the search updates without reloading the page.

Where it appears: the forms are reachable at website URLs such as /partner/add, /partner/fieldset/add, /partner/tabbed/add and their edit variants, and the listings at /partners and /partnersAjax. The add and edit forms require a logged-in user; the listings are public.

Automatic behaviour: the custom field on the contact form is pre-filled with the text "oh yeah!" when no value is supplied. A guided tour script is loaded on the website frontend to help test creating a partner.

Models touched: res.partner is the model used by all these forms, through the form models cms.form.res.partner, cms.form.search.res.partner and their variants.
