Re: [Semediawiki-user] long forms too large to save

[Jude J. <ju...@si...>]

That sounds very interesting. I am not familiar with Special:RunQuery or
#autoedit links, or I used them without knowing that I do.
The form now works with cutting down to size. I used #formlink of the
SemanticForms to create the over burdening parts of the form that I removed.
Then I include a link in the template to look if the form exists or not. If
it exists, it displays a link to the completed form, if not it display a
button to create the form.
There was an extension that I tried before, FloatEdit, that would allow the
user to create and remain on the main page from which the extra forms are
created. It so happens that FloatEdit did not always work with all version
of one of MW, SMW, or SF. I am not sure which. So I had to give that up.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will look into that process. It may
become useful. The first user I asked about splitting the form was OK with
it but not thrilled about it. So an alternate solution may still be
something to pursue.
