What is it ??

   CMFFormsTool is an extension (a tool) for CMF-1.1 that is responsible 
   for form-generation and request-validation. It is freely configurable
   through a ContentType->[list of FormsCollections] mapping feature very
   similar to portal_skins. FormsCollections are a logical units that
   have forms, templates and scripts for a certain purpose.
   
What is needed ??

   - >= Zope-2.3.3
   
   - CMF-1.1
   
   - CMFDecor
   
   - PageTemplates
   
   - Formulator (modificated Version)
   
   CMFFormsTool is specially made for use with PageTemplate-Skins.
   There is no clean way to use it from DTML right now.

What features does it have ??

   - Forms, Templates and Scripts in FormsCollections

   - Form/View mapping for each ContentType
   
   - Macro-generation for tight integration into skins
   
   - completely user-configurable
   
   - supports form-field groups of Formulator to group fields
   
   - uses PythonScripts as Actions that get validated field-values
     (new: portal_actions of category "form" are displayed as buttons)
   
   - "soft" Request-Validation: user is informed where an error occured
   
   - many more .. just have a look ..
