form builder
A public shared content type repository?
This is just an idea.
We've built sites on Mambo/Joomla in the past. mosforms, an extension to build and output custom forms and store the input much like CCK works for Drupal, was yet a simple, but great component to design site contact and other forms for Joomla. mosforms has evolved and is available as Fabrik - Joomla Application Builder now. There is nothing that might compete with our CCK here, but the last line of the published roadmap for Fabrik sounds quite interesting to me:
Form structure from Views?
We've talked about future CCK tie-ins to the form builder, and are keeping this in mind as a future add-on.
What about Views?
Views module provides a code-accessible representation of tables, fields, etc. Presumably, on this basis we could pre-populate a draft form array, or provide a data reference for the form builder (default values for fields, etc.).
