Well,
I have a project like yours.
I have to build a "survey-builder".
My client wants to login the system, and be able to create as many pools
(big pools) as he wants.
And his employees need to login the system and have access to fill this
forms up and save them to his db.
The project is in the begining of coding. Ive already done the database
schema, based on his actual system.
The two systems (his actual and this one) need to share the same database,
so, i had to build my db respecting his actual system.
Its for a small company, but really complex system.
Basically, he has ten employees that call to some people and fill the pools
with the clients answers. Then he use his other system to maky some
statistics, and build a very detailed report to his client.
My job is to minimize the time he spend creating the pools on the computer.
Today, he need one week to build a totally independent system written in
delphi and at the end of the pool, he need to export the data from delphi
and import into his main database.
So he asked me to build a pool builder (its a form builder actually).
And I am at the same problem as you are. How to render the form with cake
without have a model for each form built in the system.
If you have any solutions, please share with us.
It may help me too.
Thanks
