  Jifty->web->form->start;

  Jifty->web->out( $startup->form_field('cardinal_grammeter_mode') );

  Jifty->web->form->submit(

DESCRIPTION

This action class is a good generic basis for creating custom action classes. It expects a record object to be associated and is (in this way) very similar to Jifty::Action::Record::Delete.

You can use Jifty::Param::Schema to add additional form fields to the action and such.

METHODS

arguments

This is customized so that it expects the "record" argument of all Jifty::Action::Record actions, but also allows for overrides using Jifty::Param::Schema.

take_action

This overrides the definition in Jifty::Action::Record so that it does absolutely nothing rather than complain. You will probably want to implement your own version that actually does something.
