Advanced Tutorial - Summary  Print
In this final tutorial, we discovered:
- The remaining big features of FormBuilder
- How to enable templates using the
template
option to new()
- How to use basic
HTML::Template features
- How to use advanced
HTML::Template features
- The fundamentals of
Template Toolkit with FormBuilder
- That
render() can accept the same options as new()
- Two different methods for multi-screen applications in FormBuilder
- How to write a single, master application in FormBuilder by
using a separate
CGI.pm $query object
- How to write a smaller, multi-mode application by using
the
$form->cgi_param method
- How to customize all the messages that FormBuilder uses
with the
messages option
Believe it or not, there is still a lot of untapped power in FormBuilder
that even these 3 tutorials haven't covered. There are lots more options
you can specify to all of the functions covered, each of which tweaks
FormBuilder slightly. If you're ever in need of a feature, try locating
it in the following way:
- Determine if it's a field or form related issue
- Look at the appropriate documentation for either
field() or
new(), respectively
- Try using the appropriate option and see what happens! :-)
I've tried my best at providing an easy-to-follow introduction to
FormBuilder. If you'd like to send me suggestions or comments on
FormBuilder, please contact me.
