I have no Idea how SwfUpload works. AFAIK it allows to upload
multiple files. Does it submit the form data as well? If not,
this uploading thing should be an extra controller.

As I did with ImageChooser I would suggest
CatalystX::Controller::ExtJS::SwfUpload

Yes, that line is totally wrong, shold look like:

        my $rs = $self->config->{default_rs_method}
        $object = $object->$rs;

What kind of logic are we talking about? I put A LOT of logic in the  
model.
This helps me with testing and I have currently a daemon process who  
needs
to access the model. So I have everything there. Most of the logic is
handled by formfu.

Yes I do. Just wanted to write some more documentation and ask Carl if  
I can
upload it there. I'm off until sunday and don't have internet access.
But here is the latest and greatest latest version of this controller.
I fixed the bug you mentioned and dropped the requirement for so many  
files.
If one of the put/get/post/list files cannot be found it falls back
to the base file root/forms/???.yml

You are welcome to patch and write on. Or even upload it to the formfu
repo. I already have my bags packed and will leave in a few minutes.

One more thing, there are no tests yet. The module lives currently in my
app's lib directory. So we need a module::install environment or
something.


See you next monday!

cheers,

moritz
