[pmwiki-users] wikiforms adds (:title:) option

[John Rankin]

A number of people have asked for the ability to use 
a regular page name with the wikiforms recipe, instead 
of the auto-generated 5 digit page number. 
See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiForms

I have added an option that adds a (title) field type. 
If you declare a field to be type title, wikiforms 
automatically creates a (:title:) directive from the 
text of the field. If you include the field in a 
wikilist, it creates a link to the page, using the 
title field value as the link text.

Support for non-numeric page names is unlikely to
happen any time soon, but I think the above feature
comes close to the same effect.

Any questions or comments, let me know.

A couple of people have also asked about the possibility 
of having some fields reserved for those with special 
editing rights and different forms for different parts 
of the page. A possible approach to this is to use 
2 groups, each with its own form, that share the same 
page names and cross-link. I am happy to explore this 
option further with people who are interested.
