Ruby on Rails customer-facing formbuilder?

I have a cus开发者_如何学Pythontomer that wants to build their own questionnaires. Something like WuFoo (www.wufoo.com) but more secure and contained within the app.

I've looked at Smerf (http://github.com/springbok/smerf) which provides the yaml-to-form conversion, but I'd like something the user can use to create their own forms.

I would look at using active_scaffold. The main version has not been updated for Rails 3, but a fork at the location below has. I think it would work well for your purpose, you just need a way to grab the data and feed it in. Here is a demo of what it looks like when it is running:

Here is a demo at the top of the page:

You could always embed Google Forms. Might be easier than reinventing the wheel. Unless you have some specific use case this doesn't cover?

If you are not adverse to going the Javascript route the then you might consider one of the many framework plugins like the JQuery Form Builder. From a usability perspective it seems to me that any good solution is going to involve some Javascript. There should be no reason why this approach wouldn't integrate well into a Rails backend

You might want to check out this one. Dynamic Forms

I too am looking for something very similar. What solution did you come up with?
