your sidebar (or on a page), I’m thinking vanilla pmwiki forms without
any script at all would work (just action=pmwiki.php, I’m thinking)…
Just have a text field named n where you enter the new pagename, a hidden field
named action with “edit” as the value, and a field named template
which allows the user either a radiobutton or select option to choose one of a
number of templates that you specify. Then a submit button and you should
be good to go…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

you are ending up with “orphan” pages – i.e., they are pages
without any link anywhere to them. As long as you are using pagelists to
access them this isn’t a problem, but if you are used to a more
traditional link-to-the-page type of approach then you would need to get a
little fancier on the above solutions…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi All,<br>
<br>
Here is a feature that will help me with my web site (I will explain below
why), and I wonder if it is already implemented or should be added to a feature
list for the future.<br>
<br>
The feature: I would like to be able to choose between several (existing)
templates when I create a new page in my wiki.<br clear=all>
<br>
Explanation: <br>
<br>
I started my wiki (link below) with the idea of documenting gps tracks and
points of interest in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Costa
Rica</st1:place></st1:country-region>. I created groups based on context.
Tracks include bus routes, hikes and car rides. Points of interest are broken
up into restaurants, sights, hotels, stores and POI which includes everything
else (cemeteries, city parks, etc.)<br>
<br>
Each group has its own template page.<br>
<br>
Now I am finding that I am adding data from other locations - the US,
Nicaragua, Panama, Israel, Europe - all grouped together under a single group
'Misc.' I have no way of having different templates based on the type of point
in these countries, except to create a separate wiki for each one. So what I do
right now is add the content under the main wiki, than manually copy the page
to the Misc. group.<br>
<br>
I also have a user-edited group, but because it can only have one template, I
limit it to points of interest.<br>
<br>
What I would like to have multiple templates, and be able to choose when I
create a new page which one to use. This way, I can easily regroup the pages
based on countries, without losing the ability to match the template to the
page content.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Z.<br>
