Forms Handler

The Forms Handler provides administrative functionality for forms that update to a database. The purpose is to ease the redundant creation of forms, and to allow advanced features to seamlessly be added to all forms. Properties are set for each field, including which type of element to show and display preferences; the form elements are automatically displayed in pages to add, view, edit, and delete items.

Features include:

  • Basic element types, such as Text, Select, Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, and Textareas.
  • Advanced element types, such as Select Multiple, Date Choosers, and Passwords (with auto-verify and encryption), etc.
  • Automatically populate options from a secondary database table.
  • CSS styles for fully customizing the look and feel of the form.
  • Form validation, including automatic page forwarding to prevent accidental resubmissions of page refreshing.
  • Unique Fields (e.g. a username which cannot match existing items in the database).
