zem_contact_reborn with a Uni-Form
Hi people, I am the guy behind Uni-Form (maybe you heard of it?), anyway – it is sort of a framework for Web (xHTML) forms. Now, I am loving the zem_contact_reborn plugin – use it all the time (although the contact form on my site dnevnikeklektika.com is getting raped for some reason, TONS of spam go through it), and I would love to see Uni-Form integrated in it (I’d like it to spit out Uni-Form markup (called “units”), with form hints enabled through the plugin, error reporting, columns and all). In my opinion it would make the plugin much more usable even for people with no design or xHTML/CSS skills.
There are already some implementations of Uni-Form as a Rails plugin and also one as a PHP handler (but this one uses the old Uni-Form code, the developer has dissapeared).
How much work would this be, and does the developer even like the idea? Thanks in advance, cheers. ;)

Somehow I doubt that the group of people without design or XHTML/CSS skills is the target audience of TXP.
I’m not interested in implementing this, sorry.

No, I’m afraid you missed the point. They are certainly not TXPs target audience but Uni-Form isn’t all about newbies messing with forms. It is meant sort of as a standard (think of microformats but for forms) that comes prestyled out of the box – so if you are happy with the default layout and styling – good for you, but also you are able to (and you should) tweak the form design to your liking. I am personally using it in almost every project (couple of really big ones too) and I can’t describe how much easier it is to have that stuff standardized.
Anyway, it was just a suggestion as something I’d like to have but since you’re not interested it’s no big deal really. Cheers.

looks interesting…
I recently found myself rebuilding a form with the same fields over and over again. So I decided to build that form (containing 2 field lines, 3 field lines with labels) so that it would gracefully stretch to any with.
your little css framework looks promising, I’ll take a gander.

err i’m confused about txp’s target audience. i’m assuming your typical end-user has very little to none xhtml/css skills.
i don’t have the time atm to look at Uni-Form more thoroughly but its definitely something i may want to play with soon!
