[Phpwiki-talk] customize the "editpage" layout ?

[Han Xu <kee...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am a newbie. I wanted to use PhpWiki to co-author a website with
friends. The main change I wanted to is to customize the layout of
page editing .  I.e.

1) The editpage should not only have a big "textarea'",  but include a
easy-to-fill form consisting of multiple pre-defined  entries.

2) One of the entry in the form would be a image file name. i.e. User
should be able to import a image file and put it on the page.

First I tried on Phpwiki v1.2.4.  I changed the "textarea" into a form
by modifying templates/editpage.html.  But i don't how to enable image
file uploading.

Then I tried on Phpwiki v1.3.10,   it is SO different with v1.2.4 
that I cannot easily implement a form in editpage.  So, my questions
are:

1) What is the best (easiest) way to implement a pre-defined form in
editpage to replace the "edit_textarea". in  v.1.3.10 ?
 
2)  How can I enable image file uploading in v1.2.4 ?  

thank you,
Han

Do you want to add entries to the edit_textarea, or replace it?

Aynway, you have to fix themes/<yourtheme>/templates/editpage.tmpl 
(which is easy), and fix lib/editpage.php.

editpage in current CVS:
edit getFormElements() to add your forms
and _restoreState() to read your form values and concat it to ->_content.

That's quite a lot of work.
