ok, here we go for the first test:

testing on local environment windows 2000 sp4, Apache 1.3.27, php 4.3.5 
(if you need I'll send you the phpinfo() output)

installation test on isp's site will follow

changed that to

	require_once("$FarmD/cookbook/FGSv2-x-latest.php");

cause I'm using a wikifarm and first the script wasn't found.

When I call Main.PmWiki I'll get:


Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument 
passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the 
declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable 
call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference 
to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this 
any longer. in 
d:\webserver\user\htdocs\wiki\pmwiki.2.0.beta23\cookbook\FGSv2-x-latest.php 
on line 75

line 75 is: if ($action=='prepform' ) 
{$tracename=$pagename;$page=PrepForm(&$pagename);$action='form';  }

so I think the warning is suggesting not using

line 872: function PrepForm($pagename) {

but: function PrepForm(&$pagename) {

and removing the & in tha call ?

works. fine ! it's even asking for my edit-password.

ok, here I've to do the second installation on the isp's site so you can 
access it.

Installation text was short and clear (and exact :-), installation was easy.

now as I understand the sample page text:

to design my own form I can copy that page to e.g. Forms.MyForm01 and 
change that, finally attach this to MyGroup.Pagewithform so every edit 
call of MyGroup.Pagewithform will enable the form-entry instead of 
pmwiki-text-entry ?

Can I attach this form to a whole group or even better to a certain 
pagename-matchpattern (without using the action=edit?form=... call) ?

I'll play around a bit trying to create some own forms and then install 
it on the isp's site.
