[pmwiki-users] fox-question: defining the traget's ptv's

[Knut Alboldt]

Hi Hans !

Thanks for your answer, so I could reduce the definitions a bit.

Another question:
Is it possible to eliminate even the ptvfield-parameter ? The names of 
the variables I want to update / add are already defined in the input 
form, so is there a possibility to get the list of vars to be updated / 
added from this input-definitions instead of the ptvfield-parameter ?
