[pmwiki-users] question on markup & forms

[Marco Ferretti]

Hi all,
I am studying forms & markup. Since they always told me that the best way to 
learn something is using it, I was trying to modify the newpageboxplus.php 
coming along with BlogSimple cookbook.
Actually, what I am trying to achieve is to separate the date ( thus creating 
another text field ) from the pagename. 
So what I did was : 
	1 - added datelbl to the array of defaults : 
	  $defaults = array(
		    'base' => '',
		    'template' => '',
		    'value' => '',
		    'size'   => '30',
		    'datelbl' => '',
		    'label' => FmtPageName(' $[Create a new page called:] ', $pagename),
		    'button' => 'left',
		    'focus' => '',
		    'save' => '');
	2 - added the text box to the html : 
    ($opt['button']=="left" ? $buttonHTML : "") .
	    "<input class='inputbox newpagetext' type='text' name='date' 	
value='{$opt['datelbl']}' size='{$opt['size']}'" .


then I've called the markup from a wiki page : 
(:newpagebox  base="EventPages.HomePage" template=Event.EventTemplate 
button=right label="New Event Entry" size=40 datelbl="2006-05-03- " 
value='' :)


expecting to see at least an error of some sort ... 
What I got is that the markup call shows in the page actually painting 
(:newpagebox  base="EventPages.HomePage" template=Event.EventTemplate 
button=right label="New Event Entry" size=40 datelbl="2006-05-03- " 
value='' :)


Now I'm a bit puzzled since if I restore the old php file and remove the 
datelbl thing from the markup it works ( meaning that it draws a text box ) .

At the point where I am now, I am not worring about passing the right 
parameter to the right variable ... i just wish I could understand why it is 
not working.


TIA

Marco
