The fields are a mix of drop downs and input boxes.
For # 2, does that mean I need to remove the "ftWizardStep" attribute
from my <cfproperty> tags since I'd be using this custom edit.cfm file
for my form? Currently, my form just renders because of the metadata
defined in each <cfproperty> tag i believe.
As of now, the only code I have for my form is:
<ft:objectAdmin
title="Employee Listings"
typename="employee"
module="customlists/employee.cfm"
/>
There is an "Add" button and I click that and my form just renders
magically. I'm used to writing all the <form> tags and input fields,
etc, this seems to all just happen as part of the FarCry framework.
I've never used the <ft:form> <ft:processform>
<ft:processFormObjects> <ft:object> and <ft:wizard> tags before.
Do these tags allow more granular control of a form? If so, I think I
need that because right now, I'm really just controlling things from
within the content type.
