[Phpwiki-talk] Custom forms

[Pascal G. (QC/EMC) <Pas...@er...>]

Hi,
  before starting to write a plugin, i'd like to know your opinion.

I need to create a form that will ask users for specific informations and that will then process/transform the information and append content to a wiki page.
I know how to do this with twiki*, but that mecanism doesn't seem to be available in phpwiki.

Is the best solution writing a plug-in ?

WikiFormRich has a couple of input mechanism.
Our templated page generation is done by CreatePage.
This comes close to TWikiTemplates.

So you need the input forms from WikiFormRich point to a actionpage with 
the CreatePage plugin. A new page with variables from the input forms 
will then be created.
wikilens.org (also phpwiki-based) does use a lot of those features.
My movie database also.

But to change a page you'd your own plugin, if the AddComment machinery 
is not enough.
