@renato Very interesting. Why did you choose cake as a framework?

Hi Everyone, I am working on building a form builder module for the past three days and Ive finally reached the part that I was avoiding slightly - the form building bit :) simply cause I am yet to come up with an interesting way to do this without screwing it up. Note - I have already done the UI
