[pmwiki-users] Using EditForm

[Tegan Dowling]

In case anyone else might run into trouble with getting their wiki to use
the Site/EditForm page, OR with the appearance of the fields in the form on
that page, here's the (very happy and grateful) outcome of this inquiry -
I've re-assembled the thread top-down.

I think the major lesson of this one was that the changesum.php recipe was
the culprit; it was no longer needed, as change summaries became standard in
PmWiki 2.0.0, and the old recipe modified $PageEditFmt.  I don't know if, at
this late date, that should be inserted into the Release notes,
somewhere?Anyway, this is just one of countless instances of PM going
above and beyond
for the community.  Thanks again!  -- Tegan

I only added "$PageEditForm = '$[Site.EditForm]';" today, in an effort to
get the wiki to recognize the changes I've made to Site/EditForm.  I've now
commented it back out, and also commented out the
"include_once("cookbook/break_page.php");", but still don't get my EditForm
used.

When I look at Site/EditForm in ?action=browse view, all of the "(:input
e_..." fields, including the "minor edit" checkbox, are actual boxes, and
don't show up as "(:input e_..." - Since that isn't how it looks on
PmWiki.org/wiki/Site/EditForm, I wonder if that's a clue?

Can you set $EnableDiag = 1; in the config.php?

There's something interfering with PmWiki's (:input ...:) markup -- I
suspect it's the "adddeleteline" recipe.  Older versions of that recipe had
a conflict with (:input:) -- supposedly the newer version fixes those
problems.

So, try getting the most recent version of adddeleteline.php and see if that
solves the problem.

Final (I think) entry, from Tegan:  That did it!  Thank you so much for your
patience and help.
