Concept of "Information Collectors"? Storage of data?

Next topic

Marco Zinn	Tuesday 06 January 2004 1:00:43 pm Hi, as the docs, that I found for information collectors are quite sparse, I ask for some clarification on the subject: What does an information collector do? I can create some kind of form with it. Okay. I see (with the use of polls in 3.3), that some of the information is stored in ezPublish. And I think, the data is emailed to some mail-adress. So, when one fills out a form, what happens with the data in ezPublish (3.3.)? Does it create a new object? Does it get stored? Or does just the "option" datatype "count" the hits on it's option for doing a poll-system? So, what do _you_ use Info collectors for? Any comments (or docu links) are appreciated.

Paul Borgermans	Tuesday 06 January 2004 2:28:02 pm Hi Marco I tried to study this because I have to ;-) for a certain documentation project. Information collection is now not only through email, but values can be stored in ez publish. This does not happen as content objects, but in a designated table where attribute values are stored (like the option attribute for the blog poll) New template functions in the content module allow for fetching and counting these attribute values. I need to dig further and maybe ask the ez crew for a little help -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans

Hi Marco

I tried to study this because I have to ;-) for a certain documentation project. Information collection is now not only through email, but values can be stored in ez publish. This does not happen as content objects, but in a designated table where attribute values are stored (like the option attribute for the blog poll)

New template functions in the content module allow for fetching and counting these attribute values.

I need to dig further and maybe ask the ez crew for a little help
