I have several projects(ScoutSite, as well as my own personal web pages) that are all moving forward quickly as .8 is on it's way, but I have hit a slight impasse in deciding which way to go with development.
As with most applications for
PN, my goal is to get data from users and then format and present it. Normally I would jump right to
Pagesetter for this, but I also see some benefit to pnForm.
Pagesetter has great out-of-the-box application. tell it the fields, make the templates, and you have the application done. The biggest thing missing though is inline input(this would do wonders for the overall look of the applications I want to build), and the input pages are difficult to edit. I know I can accomplish these things with FormExpress and FEProc, but these modules seem out of development and I do not want to tie these projects to dead tech.
pnForm (as far as I can tell, I am yet to get any hands on time, but have read the docs) takes more code writing to handle the data input and output. At the same time it has the advantage of being a core tech for .8, making it very accessible throughout
PN. It has the inline inputs that I like though.
Or would there be a way to bridge the two? Use pnForm in place of FormExpress and FEProc.
