[TYPO3-project-formidable] Simple Example

[Jerome Schneider]

Hello Jonas,
formidable doesn't consider informations carried by TCA ( especially 
concerning m-m relation stuff ) for the moment, but as this seems to be 
asked by several people, I think we would reasonably have to use it :)

And you're right, for the moment these relations are managed by userobj's

Would you like to sponsor such feature ?

Best regards,
Jerome
