Further issues with Wikiforms:
For multiple input boxes, I used the (3*50) markup to get three input boxes for a certain item. In the form, I get these three boxes with "value=" filled in... How can I avoid that? Interestingly, I have one instance when I get clean boxes and another one where they have this problem. Also, when I edit the form data with the "Edit Form" link available on the page, the entries on the above 3 fields show up with the '\\' added to them. What is peculiar is that every time one edits and re-submits the form, two new '\\' get added. This causes serious troubles with the page format. I will appreciate any comments. Thank you. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sameer Kumar Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 7:55 PM To: John Rankin Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pmwiki-users] Wikiforms and templates(SameerKumar):pmwiki-users Digest, Vol 25, Issue 59 SEE BELOW FOR MY RESPONSE: Let me start by using the base wikiforms approach, ie without the title option. The title adds a lot of complexity and perhaps could be considered for a subsequent refined version. Getting titles straight in this case makes my head hurt. With numbered pages (formtitle disabled)... =========================================== 1. set up 2 groups: eg FormData and FlexiData FormData is driven by FormData.FormTemplate and FlexiData is plain old wiki pages. 2. Set up FormData.GroupFooter with (:if exists FlexiData.{$Name} :)(:include FlexiData.{$Name}:) (:else:)[[FlexiData.{$Name} |Create flexi-text]] (:ifend:) This will append the unstructured data if the page exists, otherwise it will give you a link to create it. 3. Set up FlexiData.GroupFooter with (:if exists FormData.{$Name} :)[[FormData.{$Name} |Return to form-text]] (:ifend:) 4. In this scenario, your discussion tab should work All the names are as pmwiki intended, and everything should just work, including backlinks. [SK] [SK] That worked quite well. In fact, I coded the 'edit' tab on the FormData page to automatically open the FlexiData in edit form and the 'view' tab in Flexidata to automatically switch back to the FormData view page. This makes the system extremely seamless. The problem now is that I have been unable to switch off the Formtitle recipe! I cannot get the form to create the numbered pages anymore. So, with the Formtitle working, I have the following problems: 1. When I am in Projects.Museum page and hit "Edit" tab, it takes me to the Projectstext.00001?action=edit page. When I hit "Save" button after editing, it brings me to Projectstext.00001 page. I can have a link back to the Projects.Museum page from there but the better option would be if I could customize the "Save" button. Can I do that?? 2. The problem with the 'discussion' tab still exists. Currently the Comments.PageActions page has the following link for the "View" tab: %item rel=nofollow class=back [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@}?action=view | $[View] ]] Can I change this to read the 'title' of the page just like (:if exists FormData.{$Name} :)(:fpara xxxx=FormData.{$Name} :)(:ifend:) Thank you!
