Could you please double check that after you press "Save draft" then
open the non-draft page, you have actually opened the *non-draft* page?
If you simply click on the "edit" link for the non-draft page, and there
is a draft page, PmWiki actually opens the draft page for editing - this
is normal and expected.
For me the "save draft" button updates only the draft page. Here are my
two pmform templates:
[[#dataform]]
(:input pmform target=savedata :)
(:input default source={*$FullName}-Draft,{*$FullName} :)
(:input default request=1 :)
(:messages:)
|| Name:||(:input text $:name size=25 :) ||
|| Email:||(:input text $:email size=25 :) ||
(:input submit post Save:)
(:if auth admin:)
(:input submit postdraft "Save draft":)
(:else:)
(:input hidden postdraft 1:)
(:if:)
(:input end:)
* '''{*$FullName}''': Name={{*$FullName}$:name},
E-mail={{*$FullName}$:email}
* '''{*$FullName}-Draft''': Name={{*$FullName}-Draft$:name},
E-mail={{*$FullName}-Draft$:email}
[[#dataformend]]
[[#datapost]]
(:template defaults savevars=$:name,$:email :)
[[#datapostend]]
Near the end of the #dataform snippet, I placed the variables from both
the draft page and the public page, just to see if it works. As admin,
when I press "Save draft", only the draft variables are created or
modified. When I press "Save", the draft page is deleted and the public
page variables are updated.
Note also that, if there is a draft page, with the line
(:input default source={*$FullName}-Draft,{*$FullName} :)
the form is pre-filled with the variables from the draft page, this is
also normal and expected.
