[pmwiki-users] Zap and pagetemplate

[Scott Smith]

I'm an idiot. I didn't realize Dan had answered the question on 6/19. Sorry.

The template page looks like this now--

Page Name entered: {$$makepage}
File Name: {$$create}
Some words: {$$txtWords}

The form page looks like this--

(:messages:)
(:zapform:)
(:zap createtemplate="Systems.TestFormTemplate":)
||Create: ||(:input text makepage:)
||Add some text: ||(:input text txtWords:)
|| ||(:input submit:)
(:zap if1="namefmt {makepage} ? create=Systems.{makepage}":)
(:zap if2="! namefmt {makepage} ? warn=Invalid page format. ":)

(:zap create="":)
(:zapend:)

(:if false:)
[[#ID]]
(:messages:)
(:zapform:)
Create: (:input text create:) (:input submit:)
(:zapend:)
[[#ID]]
(:if:)

I didn't realize the template keyword is now 'createtemplate' instead of
pagetemplate. Also, it has to be in double quotes. To get the form info to
appear on the new page, you must use {$$field_name} not {field_name}.
