Question

I am preparing a form, and in one entry, i need to know the responsible twiki user, who might not be the one inputing the entry. I thought some variations of " TWikiUsers " would enable a drop-down list of registered twiki users for one to select, but that is not the case. What variable and syntax should i use to populate this form entry?

Have a look at SearchPatternCookbook, patterns 3a and 3b. Hope that helps,

Hi, thanks....the search pattern works on pulling the names. Problem is, when i use the SEARCH line %SEARCH{"Name:;Email:" web="Main" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="$topic" }% then the nice formating of the tables within a form disappear.... I use "|" to separate the fields within a form in nice default colors from twiki. When i view source code of created html, it seems once i have the SEARCH line, that portion is NOT formatted with tables, no enclosings of TR or TD around the SEARCH line. Ideas?

In the FormattedSearch, specify a separator=" " (a space) to keep all output on one line.
