I have in mind an application that creates applications (each in its own web) [22:17] *** _arjen_ has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [22:19] Can submission of a twiki form create several new pages without custom perl? [22:34] muir93: i think this is possible with some javascript [22:34] there is a sample app somewhere in the sandbox web on twiki.org [22:35] that makes sense. [22:35] somewhere, eh? [22:35] I'll look for it. [22:35] if you have an app per web consider simply creating a template web and then create a new web based on that template web [22:35] That's the direction I'm going. [22:36] Then after the web is creating, let it be customized. [22:36] One thing I'm looking for is a form field that can values that come from a list of names/twiki pages. [22:37] I know you can put in a topic in a form field, but how about multiple topics? [22:37] By the way, I was one of the folks who listened to you speak at the SF perl group. [22:42] ah :-) [22:42] you can put any content in a form field [22:43] I'm looking to restrict what can be in the field. [22:43] such as multiple topic names separated by comma-space: TopicA, TopicB, TopicC [22:43] you can use checkboxes if that makes sense [22:43] Not here. [22:44] in the form you can use a SEARCH to populate the list of possible checkbox items [22:44] Oh [22:44] Good idea. [22:44] same for select [22:44] that way you get data driven content [22:45] e.g. no need to duplicate stuff in several places [22:45] That works. [22:45] I had been planning a full-custom application, but circumstances have given me only two weeks to complete my project so I figure a twiki app is the only way I'll get it done. It won't be as fancy, but it may be good enoguh. [22:48] that is the right approach: start simple, get feedback and improve [22:58] see parameterized include example at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/IncludeTopicsAndWebPages [22:58] it helps you separate logic and content [23:08] once you have a working solution on double form submit please consider posting a how-to blog on twiki.org :-) [23:13] will do!
