I don't know if this will help, but my woes were solved when I
installed the DataTiddlerPlugin and the FormTiddlerPlugin in the
ImportTiddler tiddler. Before I had manually entered them in and that
didn't work. ImportTiddlers is easy to use. You just enter in the web
address of the page that has the tiddler and then click on the Open
button. It then brings up a list and you choose want you want from
there.
I'll give you what I have and you can change it to how you see fit. I
only have text fields (no buttons, checkboxes, etc) so I don't know if
I could help you there, but I have a tiddler (mine is called
FormTemplate) with information like this:
<html>
<b>Name 2:</b><br/>
<input name=name2 type=text size="30" /><br/>
<b>Address:</b><br/>
<input name=addr type=text size="30" /><br/>
<b>City, State Zip:</b><br/>
<input name=csz type=text size="30" /><br/>
</html>
After entering that in a tiddler, you can hit close to see what it
looks like. I then have a link in the SideBarOptions tiddler that will
bring up a new tiddler with the form information in it and it looks
like:
<<newTiddler label:"New Company" text:{{"<<formTiddler FormTemplate\>
\>"}}>>
New Company is how it's displayed in the sidebar and FormTemplate is
the name that I chose for my form (you could name it anything you
want). This way, you can create different tiddlers, each with their
own set of fields. Then, you can create a link, one for each different
field tiddler in the SideBarOptions tiddler.
If you come back to this discussion, I will be checking back to see if
you have any questions about what I said.
