Hi,
I need to do CRUD operations with forms. Where can I find an example on how to do it with "Form Generation Library"?
Best Regards,

The release date is: whenever it's ready :-) (which will be very soon, it just doesn't make sense to provide the lib with major changes but without testing and debugging)
You can help by completing the methods in the user guide. No problem if the English isn't perfect. I can take care of that later. That'd be great!

I don't know if you're looking for something like the deprecated Codeigniter scaffolding functionality but if you are, I don't think the Form Generation Library provides that.
The library provides shortcuts for form creation, form errors, etc. You still have to write your own models (if you use them), views (again, if you use them), etc.
If you're not familiar with the Codeigniter methods to create forms, the Form Helper and Form Validation section of the Codeigniter user guide helped me a lot.

Frank/Mac and all,
Merry Xmas to you all too and all the best for the New Year.
How do we add to the user guide, just email you portions and you'll do the formatting CI-style and any editing?

Maybe you can merge formlib and ( DataMapper DMZ )

@macigniter : Yep, I'll write some for you.
BTW, how I could use the postprocess() function? I see the argument should be an array. But after reading your code, I can't see why. Please give me an example.

You could download the template and then email me the html.
Please check out the latest version of the user guide here.
THANKS!

That's what I am doing. Works like a charm. DataMapper and the Form Generation Library work very well together and speed up development time big time. :-)

The postprocess() function is a relict from the original source code of MidgetForms. You can see the description for it here. I have actually never used this function and was wondering if we really need it at all...?

Hi, where can I get examples of the two working?
