In order to help with the documentation, which I really want to do, I need
to understand how to make it work.
And by the way, I am fairly skilled at that, as the folks at Linux from
Scratch will tell you.
I am now resigned to doing this from the PHP. It will take longer that's
all. First I need to learn PHP, no problem, I started in this business in
1968, I can write Algol, Fortran, and wrote operating systems in 8080
machine code, PHP is a cinch.
I am missing something fundamental about Boltwire. Your suggestion below
doesn't work, and I don't understand why. If I add the code you supply to
action.register at the point stated, the registration fails completely (no
member.xyz file is created), and the form is re-displayed. Now, please do
not reply with another suggested method. I want to understand the design
principles for Boltwire Action Forms. I will do this myself now.
I will post again if I need more help.
Thanks for trying.
TOF.
