[WEB4LIB] Web forms that filter content and then post to a web page

[Thomas M G Bennett]

Zope.  As far as dynamically filtering the positions into categories sounds
like it would take some type of AI.  Although, on the form you could have a
drop down list of categories which could be changed by the administrator if
need be before it is published publicly.  You can set a default Boolean when
the form is submitted with a hidden form value or in the SQL that inserts
the record into a database so it would not be published when the job listing
page is accessed until the administrator changes the Boolean value.  Each
item in the form would be a field in the database.

Can anyone recommend a program that will allow you to create a web form
that will take submissions, filter them into four preset categories, and
then post the information to a web page?

Ideally, it would also allow for an administrator check or sign-off (to
make sure nothing inappropriate is posted).

One of our departments has a page with job listing in four categories
that someone currently enters by hand, compiling from emails, static
form results, faxes, phone calls, etc.  They are looking to find
something that will automate the process.

Thanks!
