is there anywhere where you can get a quick summary of the different
add ons?
a few are detailed on squeaksource but not all of them. loading in
from monticello
and checking them out is always an option, but i wanted to see if
there was a quicker
route.

thanks.
is there any documentation on PierForm somewhere?
i'm trying to figure out how to use it and not getting very far.
i'm either trying to use it for something it isnt designed for
or just doing something fundamentally wrong.
i'm trying to use it to create a form to add events to an events page..
so you can reuse the form to add new events, but i'm just not getting
it correct.
a quick read of any 'pier forms' basics documentation would probably
clear
up most of my questions.

Yes, <http://scg.unibe.ch/archive/masters/Reng06a.pdf> in the section
"3.6.3 Adaptive Forms" (Page 39).

In its current form the implementation does not allow your more than
to enter and edit structured data.

taking the example of the movie actor database from Reng06a.pdf
i create a form to add structured actor info.
how do i reuse that form?
go to an existing entry and copy it and then edit the data?
if i have multiple entries, how do have pier display them so you
can get to them? values:children will display the title in a page
but you cant get to all the structured information.

Yes. The meta-model of the form structure is shared, the model is
unique (copied).

them so you
can get to them? values:children will display the title in a page
but you cant get to all the structured information.
PRReportView was a useful view on structured data, I removed it from
Pier-Seaside a couple of weeks ago. It didn't look too useful in the
context of Pier alone. Maybe I should rather have been moved to
Pier-Form, because it was a nice view to display a report on
structured data.
Support for value-links could be improved in the context of Pier-Form,
I haven't touched that plugin for years.

It serves as a demo for the meta- and meta-meta capabilities of
Magritte and Pier. The code was published to accompany the tutorial
and to give developers and end-users an idea how to do more advanced
stuff with Magritte.
