Hi All, I've been thinking for a while about a toolkit that can generate "views" on top of SQLObjects automatically through a minimal (but extendible) set of configurations/attributes.
Recently I discovered TurboGears and although it doesn't seem to provide such a toolkit yet, it seemed like an excellent platform to prototype such a system. For anyone who's interested, I've created a first prorotype, capable of handling simple SQLObject definitions (with ForeignKeys though) and generating create/edit/view and list views on top of it. The sample application is "racetrack", an hour registration utility (though it doesn't work at all yet, except presenting the forms and storing the data :), the toolkit itself is included and named "turboengine" Documentation and 98% of the required functionality is missing, but it's still interesting to see what people thing of my approach/ideas. All feedback is very welcome. The prototype is at: http://m3r.nl/~ivo/tmp/racetrack20051024.tgz It somewhat resembles catwalk, but it's meant to be extendible (which catwalk isn't) (I'll try to provide a list of actual GOALS as soon as possible as well :) Regards, Ivo -- Drs.
