I am working with alfresco 3.3.. I have seen that any form that we create using Form service in share is attached to a document.. I referred to the wiki: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms_Development_Kit As mentioned in the wiki, i can view the form only when i 'change type' and click on 'edit metadata' and this form is attached to that document.. Can i create a standalone form..?
For example: I want to create a dashlet, with some links.. On the click of the link, the form (e.g Employee registration form) should open within the dashlet..where the user can enter details and submit the form..
Also if this is possible, then i would like to know how and where the data that i submit gets stored..
Have a look at how the create content form for online editable docs (available in 3.3) is used, that is to create a form unrelated to an existing content node. You should be able to adopt that to a dialog if needed. As you can see from the forms documentation, it is possible to set the submit url to be your own.
thanks for your reply.. But, I have not got this clear.. :cry: Can u please explain it to me with an example as to how should i go about with this.. it would be very helpful with some steps..
