This is what I want to do. Can Fabrik 3 do this?
I want to present the user with a Query By Example type form, eg
_____________________________________________
| ....................................................................|
| Element 3:..[......] (or) [......] (or) [......].............|
| Element 5:..[......] (or) [......] (or) [......].............|
| Element 6:..[......] (or) [......] (or) [......].............|
| Element 9:..[......] (or) [......] (or) [......].............|
|____________________________________________|
Here is an example of how someone might complete the form
_____________________________________________
| ....................................................................|
| Element 3:..[..A..] (or) [..G..] (or) [......].............|
| Element 5:..[......] (or) [......] (or) [......].............|
| Element 6:..[.yes..] (or) [......] (or) [......]...........|
| Element 9:..between [1966] and [2000]................|
|____________________________________________|
Equivalent to
((E3 = A) OR (E3 = G)) AND (E6 = "yes") AND (E9 >=1966) AND (E9 <=2000)
The user completes the form (or could leave it empty for all records) and is then presented with a list of Element1s that meet the criteria. Each of the records in the list is a link to a document that is created from these and other elements in the list together with other material (eg a pdf).
I am sure that Fabrik can do this but I find the documentation very confusing. Please could you point me in the right direction.
