Question

I am attempting to extend the Support Web on Twiki.org for a pilot demonstration in my company. I could not easily find a packaged build of the Support web in SVN or as a kind of downloadable package. So, I just started cutting and pasting the raw views of all of the pages.

Everything seems to work okay once I found the supportquery modifications for the comments.tmpl, but I am now stuck with a problem on how to force the attachment and population of the WebForm when a new topic is created. Do I need to update another default TWiki script or template to force this. For now, I am just modifying the AskedQuestions code to include

<input type="hidden" name="formtemplate" value="WebForm"/>
to attach the form, but I don't like how the user has to select the topic manually on creation of the topic as opposed to how the Support Web works on TWiki.org.

So, 2 Questions: 1. Is there a way to extract all of the Support Web Content?

2. How does one force the autoaddition of a form and pass initial criteria selection?

ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I figured it out. In my copy and paste method of duplicating the Support Web 'Application', I did not notice that the form was attached to the topic template and that is how the form gets attached to new questions.
