[pmwiki-devel] PmForm Q?

[Simon]

Thanks Petko, that was it, I had not refreshed the configuration form and
had changed the length of the field names.
(and yes I was confused about PmForm because I had just been looking at it
for another purpose)

On the topic of
$conf = extGetConfig($MyDefaultValues);

I believe that $conf should only make visible to the recipes values that
are related to the recipe itself (i.e. all other recipe variables should
not be visible)
I am starting to understand this include:
* calculated variables for the current page (from recipe's form)
* saved config variables (from recipe's form)
* x variables for the recipe (e.g. xAction)
* = variables for the recipe (e.g. =url)

Some feedback - i find the access to the configuration variable the most
confusing part.
For example what is it with the [0] part of $conf['=conf'][0] ?

Its probably too late to change things, but perhaps something like this
would be clearer
$conf = extGetConfig($MyDefaultValues); # returns the following arrays:
 $conf['=']['VarName'] ; #
 $conf['x']['Varname'] ; #
 $conf['f']['FieldName'] ; # form configuration values for current page
 $conf['sc']['FieldName'] ;# saved form configuration values as entered on
Extension hub

Also, please consider making the "Applies to pages:" text box two or three
times wider, or deeper by allowing it to have multiple lines (so a list of
pages can extend over several lines)

thanks very much

Simon

PS I can't wait for ExtensionHub to be included in the PmWiki releases
