==================================

Creates Plone content objects from EasyForm submissions.

Features
--------

`Easyform `_ action to create Plone/Dexterity content items.

Converters to meet the target fields requirements for example a data_handler to add timezone info to be able to create events.

Documentation
-------------

- Install the addon within your Plone site
- From the actions menu choose edit actions and add a new action
``Create dexterity content``
- Choose a location where the items should be create
- Choose the desired content type
- Map your form field ids to the item field ids and add converters as needed

Available converters
--------------------

``plaintext_to_intellitext``
converts plain text to html

``datetime_with_timezone``
adds portal default timezone to datetime

``file_converter``
takes a fileupload and converts it to a named blob file,

Mapping
-------

Field mapping format: ``formFieldId itemFieldId:converter``.
The ``converter`` is optional, value is taken as is.
Latter implies value types are matching in EasyForm (form field) and target schema (item feld)!
Make sure you have at least eiter the ``title`` or ``id`` mapping defined, because it will also be used to create the id of the item!

Example::

topic title
comments text:plaintext_to_intellitext
event_start start:datetime_with_timezone
video_upload file:fileupload_converter

Note
----

There have been ZODB transaction issues, turn off versioning for easyform as a workaround.
