Re: [google-appengine] Re: online form/invoice designer

Hello Doug

I did not find any form designer.  But, I am thinking the following, so that the users have some amount of flexibility to design/modify the invoices

- Show the CKEditor for the users - http://ckeditor.com/

- The user designs the HTML invoice with CKEditor

- In the CKEditor, the user places placeholder variables,  like ${name}, ${zipcode}, ${invoiceNo} at the desired positions

- Save this HTML along with placeholders

- Process the HTML to replace the placeholder variables. 

- Here you can use jquery, if you plan on doing on the browser, to manipulate the placeholder values.  

- However, I want to do this process of creating the final invoice on server.  I found the following  https://github.com/jawher/moulder-j.

Hello,

We are developing an accounting SaaS using servlets/jsps and gwt 

The users would like to create their own invoice template for print purpose.  

Here are the simple steps I am imagining.

- A form designer to the left side (3/4 of the window).

- A list of Invoice variables displayed on the right.  

- The user can drag & drop the invoice variables into the form

- Save the template as a HTML with placeholders for the variables.(Some convention to identify the placeholders in the HTML)

Are there any tools/companies or opensource projects which can perform the above.  I should be able to integrate that project into my own web application.
