I’m still liking wufoo but now that people are actually using my form to make submissions, I’m running into the next obvious problem: Now What? Just collecting all the underpants information is -at best- only half the business problem anyone is ever trying to solve. Wufu does support a handy number of export options rss, excel, cvs. But if I’m going to do anything with this that isn’t just manual (like say format and spit the info back out to a consolidated webpage) I’m coming dangerously close to breaking the original assumption – that it’s super fast and I don’t have to know any php (god forbid).
What I really need is a oofuW service (Wufoo backwards, heh) that takes csv/rss/data and easy ajax/wizard like formating, does “stuff” with the input and spits out a pretty webpages appropriately (exactly the wufoo in reverse).
Interestingly, I also have the exact same problem with the eventbright ticketing service where I want to strip out certain fields and republish a “who’s coming” feed to my enterprisecamp.org website. So far I tried a csv to feed43 rss to drupal aggregator to try and semi-automate this. “semi” being the operative word, and “pretty ugly” being the other operative word.
suggestions? Is this a problem set that cries out for yahoo pipes? (I never did quite figure out what yahoopipes does)
