I am attempting to implement an online employment application on a website. The Data Form section seemed to be an easy to use tool for implementing collection of the information, but the email generated from the application exceeds 10 pages. What method are you using (or recommend) for implementing an online employment application? -- ABS Computer Technology, Inc. - Email, Internet and Security Consultants --- (Edited on 9/4/2011 9:48 am [GMT-0400] by aewhale) --- |

You mean a list of employees with personal info, performance reviews etc, right? Don't use DataForm. It's simply not meant for building an application. Moreover, it stores entry data in a single column in the database (in JSON format, I believe), so it's difficult to pull out the information with an SQL Report. I don't think a Collaboration System will work: it's easy to build, but you'll quickly run out of fields. I would use Thingy. In fact, it was made specifically for building custom applications. Downside of Thingy is the reporting. It has a search and every entry has a page, but templating options are limited. For more complex reporting you need to use an SQL Report. The tables that Thingy generates don't have semantic table and column names, which is an understandable limitation, but it makes building SQL Reports more difficult and hard to debug. Still, if a custom asset isn't an option, Thingy is your best bet. http://www.webgui.org/content-managers-guide-wiki/thingy Other suggestions, anyone?

Actually, I understood employment application as a form for perspective employees to fill out. So if that's the case, I think the DataForm would be fine. And dealing with the JSON in a custom SQL report isn't that hard with template toolkit, as long as you can add a module to your server. The dataform has a default email template. If you copy and then modify that copy (and be sure to select it) you should be able to change the resulting email however you'd like. Susan B --- (Edited on 9/7/2011 09:11 [GMT-0700] by susanb) --- |

SQL Report or Thingy are the only real choices for this. Ehab Heikal Web Development and design in Egypt, Arabic Portal with news chat and Videos using WebGUI Quote: An eye for an Eye only helps make the whole world blind Gandhi --- (Edited on 11/30/2011 10:20 am [GMT-0600] by ehab) --- |
