Create content from easyform submission

Plone Support
1

I want to create content object from an easyform submission.
Wasn't there something like uwosh.pfg.d2c for easyforms?

2

AFAIK no..maybe it should be easy to do in addition with Dexterity ttw content-type creation.

3

I have build something for the university Gent where we generate add forms from arbitrary types based on schema introspection in order to provide simple add forms for average users. The list fields to be used for a particular portal type is based on a simple configuration.

So I started an easyform plugin package for that case https://github.com/collective/collective.easyformplugin.createdx

But there isn't much happening yet because of this error when I try to add the new action to the form ...

Traceback (innermost last):

it then tries to get a handler for the fieldType which is my custom action

  68  ->         if handler is None:                                                                                                                                                   
  69                 handler = handlers[fieldType] = queryUtility(IFieldExportImportHandler, name=fieldType)

but can't find any

Does anyone have a clue why my handler registration https://github.com/collective/collective.easyformplugin.createdx/blob/master/src/collective/easyformplugin/createdx/actions.py#L45 isn't working?

Naming of the utility was wrong... so the lookup couldn't return anything.
