For now the forms are like a more userfriendly input user interface for submitting data to templated-like page. Meaning forms are only visible in edit mode… an application like a contact-form is not what we are discussing here for now I think.

Up till now a page designer made a page …/cat:_template with an upper-part: (formatting the submitted data) an a lower part: "====" separated content blocks. If the designer wished that some part of his preformatted page would be replaced with variable-page-content he had to reference to the coresponding contentblock with %%content{1}%%.

Now that forms are in sight, each form input field will replace a content block of the previous way of working. And as I discovered in my test: referencing to %%content{1}%% still works with the new form-module in contentblock 1.

I was under the impression that one could reference to it by calling its name as defined in the form-module… but that doesn't seem to work… So how is it done?

data from forms

scottplan 18 Nov 2009 19:08

So far, forms seem to group all data in a single content block. I tried to insert breaks using the "after" property, but it's not clear whether this feature is currently "planned" or "live".

Is there some way to distinguish between form data fields downstream?

This is planned, but not yet possible. Eventually you will be able to use field values by typing %%field{n}%% into your template, where n is a positive number from 1 upwards.

… typing %%field{n}%% into your …

Actually %%field{name}%%, where name is field name.

%%field{name}%%

I agree, Piotr. That would give more flexibility in adjusting forms moving forward.

Is there anything happening with this?

MatthewDavey 19 Jan 2010 00:24

Not having the ability to specify individual fields is the major thing that is stopping people from using forms. Is this likely to be implemented soon?

Me too — waiting with bated breath. Looking forward to what's in store.

TeRq 19 Jan 2010 08:45

In ListPages module you can use this

%%form_data{name}%%	Field value from page data form
%%form_raw{name}%%	For select fields, the internal value
%%form_label{name}%%	The label of the field as defined in the form
%%form_hint{name}%%	The hint of the field as defined in the form

notation can changed in future

I know… I was hoping for an official wikidot-answer since there is so much activity today on the forms

If you want to raise issues on the data forms, please create individual subthreads that can be discussed and closed independently, or use bugs.wikidot.com. Please do not use this 'one report per comment' approach, it is close to useless. I won't track bugs separately.

Ctrl+S never worked but obviously should. For all other bugs please provide test cases.

Thanks, Wikidot

scottplan 20 Jan 2010 14:22

Super — I'm looking forward to playing with this. Thanks a lot.

leiger 20 Jan 2010 13:14

Ctrl-S does not work any more

I don't think Ctrl+S has ever worked with data forms. Would you consider this to be a bug? Hmm… I suppose it's safe to assume that because regular page editing supports it, data forms should as well.

Not sure if the bug should be posted here, or on bugs.wikidot.com though… it is a current feature so I assume the bugs wiki is the best place for it.

Still not working?

HobStarCS 05 Feb 2010 05:29

I can not get it to display anything.

[[module ListPages category="wo-labor" parent="." tags="wo-labor-stand wo-labor-spec" order="created_at desc"]]
%%form_raw{Labor}%%
[[/module]]

Re: Still not working?

Gabrys 05 Feb 2010 07:35

try unixified form fields identifiers: %%form_raw{labor}%%
