Extension talk:Page Forms

Stuck when using Special:CreateForm
I followed the QuickStart guide and successfully created properties and templates. Now I want to create a form via Special:CreateForm. After I choose my template and click "Add" I'm transfered to another page saying "Before template:" and a drop down menu with the 2 choices "At end" and "Template_name". I have three buttons "Add", "Save page" and "Preview" but none of them takes action if clicked.

Can you please help?

Thanks in advance!

BTW: http://scratchpad.referata.com/wiki/Special:CreateForm shows the same faulty behavior. --Stefahn (talk) 11:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out. That's too bad... it was just a single missing '.', due to a change made last week. I just fixed it in Git, and updated the code in Referata. I guess I'll have to release a new SF version too... Yaron Koren (talk) 15:52, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply, Yaron! Now it works fine. Also, I finally got a Git GUI working for windows :) Stefahn (talk) 23:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks indeed. Some problem and same solution, only that Git is working on my Mac ;-). One question though: the list of templates appears in some random order when I want to add a template to the form. Shouldn't that be alphabetically? --AdSvS (talk) 13:14, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * They're showing up for me in alphabetical order - can you point to some place where they don't show up that way? Yaron Koren (talk) 14:45, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Namespace declaration ignored if postbutton method is used?
In relation to archived discussion:.

I've found that the "namespace=" declaration is ignored when using the postbutton method? Ashimema (talk) 13:53, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Info tooltip does not work in multiple instance templates
I use the following text next to a field which is in a multiple-instance template. When you view the form, the tool tip (?) icon shows next the field, but the tool tip bubble doesn't open when you click on it. I tried to open multiple instances of the template and the tool tip does not load the bubble. I have tried this with a field that does not have multiple instances in the same form and the tool tip loads the tool tip bubble.

Here is my template call within the Form Syntax

Semantic Forms
Hi,

I am using semantic forms. I need to bring some of the fields to the first page with validation and also i want to send these values through url to next page.

Kindly help me to solve this problem. Reply me as soon as possible.


 * This is the right spot. :) "Spamming" a question to all sorts of locations does not help the cause. Signing your question is probably a good idea too. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 14:41, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * This may possibly help. And yes, please stop spamming. :) Yaron Koren (talk) 02:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

A lot of "Allows value's" in Combobox
Hello, I am trying to do the following. The  is filled with data from a table on the MySQL instance. With the help of the External Data extension it fills all Allowed values with customer names. After saving the page there is a nice list of all the customers (+/- 800). When you press Browse properties on the property pages all customers are listed behind Allows value. All seems fine. This is a property of type Has type::Page.

With the form and template below I then create a new page and expect to see all customers listed in the Combobox that are on the  page but it only shows +/- 240 randomly from A to Y. Always the same customers are shown but never all of them.



When I do the same thing with a smaller result set (+/- 40) it works fine. I can't find any SMW setting's limiting the amount of Allows value's for a property. I am not sure what is going on here. If it would show the first 200 it would make sense but as it is now it is a little confusing. It would be very nice if I could get this to work with a bigger result set, is there a trick to get it to work or is this just to much? Thanks --Jongfeli (talk) 14:13, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * 800 is a lot of values! Of course, ideally it should work, but given that you're using a combobox, an alternate solution is to use "autocomplete from url" - it's less of a hack. Unfortunately, it's also harder to set up (something I hope to change), but if you can create an API script that displays the table contents in JSON form, that's what I would definitely recommend.
