[pmwiki-users] wikiforms adds ViewTemplate

[John Rankin]

This is at the proof of concept stage...

Several people have asked for a way to change the display of 
pages created using the wikiforms recipe. The latest version
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiForms
supports this.

1. create a page in the group holding the data pages called
   ViewTemplate

2. on that page, where you want data to go, write <fieldname>
   along with any other wiki text and markup you need

3. when you browse a page of the form Group.nnnnn it will use
   the contents of ViewTemplate, and substitute the value of
   each <fieldname>

4. to use a different template, use ?template=templatename

5. to change the default template name, set $WikiFormViewFmt
   in local/config.php

6. if no view template exists, the normal browse is used

I expect this will need refinement, but it's a start...
