Question

Greetings,

We have a web with locked instructions for our vendors to follow. We want them to be able to provide feedback, suggestions, corrections, etc, but these comments must go to a new topic to be reviewed first. Therefore I'm putting together a form and template which the users can fill out and submit for a moderator to consider.

How can I get data information from the originating topic into the form? For example if a user finds an error and wants to report it, I'd like the name of the topic to automatically be included in the form. How do I do that? Using the CanAFormFieldGetDataFromTheTopic and similar variables provide the name of the form, not the location of the problem article.

Thanks!

ALERT! If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You can create a TWikiForms based application to manage the vendor feedbacks. One form field could be a Published Yes/No field. In your product page, do a SEARCH that looks for Published field with value Yes. This can be in an INCLUDEd page so that you can maintain the output centrally in one place.
