Ruby on Rails client oriented formbuilder?

Question

I have a client who wants to build their own questionnaires. Something like WuFoo (www.wufoo.com), but more secure and contained in the application.

I looked at Smerf ( http://github.com/springbok/smerf ) which provides a yaml-to-form transformation, but I need something the user can use to create their own forms.

Answer 1

I would look at using active_scaffold. The main version has not been updated for Rails 3, but the fork is in the location below. I think this will work well for your purpose, you just need a way to capture the data and submit it. Here is a demonstration of what it looks like when it is running:

Below is a demo at the top of the page:
