Question

I am looking for a way to ease table maintenance via a entry form. I.e. let a user add/change an table Entry via a for (TWikiForms ?) and after finishing the edit the contents will appear in a row of a table. Is such a thing possible ? How have it to be done ?

• TWiki version: 1.Sep.2001 (production release)
• Web server: Apache
• Server OS: SunOS
• Web browser: Netscape
• Client OS: Win NT 4

Answer

See the sample To-Do application the Sandbox.ItemToDo. It should have what you need, you can customize it to your needs. Note that the reporting in table format requires the latest TWikiAlphaRelease code and templates.

Problem Report

I've replaced all files in /bin and /lib (TWiki.cfg adapted) with the ones from the beta release. The server does not give any response (Browser waits forever until timeout) when calling the page with the search statement in it. Replacing /lib/TWiki.pm with the one from release 1.Sep.2001 cures the problem, but it ignores also the format info in the search statement.

The search statement is as follows:

------------------------- cut ------------------------

%SEARCH{"[T]opicClassification.*value\=.*[I]ssueToDo" scope="text" regex="on" nosearch="on" casesensitive="on" format="| $topic: $summary | $formfield(Category) | $formfield(Benefit) | $formfield(Effort) | $formfield(Priority) | $formfield(Description) | $formfield(OwnerContributors) | $formfield(Dependencies) |"}%

------------------------- cut ------------------------

Any idea what to do ?
