Lists and Forms in the Administration Area

As we previously mentioned, creating lists and forms in LemonStand is a simple task, which is almost completely automated by behaviors. Behaviors are special classes which allow to extend controllers (and some other classes) which you define in your module. There is a number of behaviors available in LemonStand. And you can add your own behaviors, if it is needed. The most commonly used behaviors are:

• Db_ListBehavior - adds list features to a controller.
• Db_FormBehavior - adds form features to a controller.
• Db_FilterBehavior - adds list filtering features to a controller.

We will describe all these behaviors and their features in the following articles:

• Lists - describes the process of implementing lists in the Administration Area
• List Filters - explains how you can add the filtering feature to a list
• Forms - explains how you can create forms for adding, modifying and deleting database records
