Question

I am aiming the following objective:

• r1: Create a child topic to an existing one
• r2: Use a template for the child topic
• r3: Display the form directly in the parent topic, with the form attribute data field of the child
• r4: Allow select dropdown and radio buttons, ...in the form
• r5: Add the child topic, refresh the parent topic and stay in the parent topic view mode.

I used the CommentPlugin template to create fancy exemples. They all included comments in the parent child. Now I want to reach the above objectives with the topic creation of a child. I admit having no experience in the css technologies and related element, but I was able to come with this half working layout:

<form method="post" action="%SCRIPTURL{save}%/Main/" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="noformcomment0" id="noformcomment0">
<input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="%TOPIC%" />
<input type="hidden" name="comment_action" value="save" />
<input type="hidden" name="nonwikiword" value="off" />
<input type="hidden" name="onlywikiname" value="on" />
<input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="EvenementTemplate" />
<div class="twikiFormSteps">
<div class="twikiFormStep">
*Name of event:* %BR%
<input class="twikiInputField" %DISABLED% type="hidden" size="40" name="topic" id="topic" value="EVnT%SERVERTIME{$dayx$monthx$yearx$houx$sec}%" /> <span class="twikiGrayText"> </span>
<input class="twikiInputField" %DISABLED% type="hidden" size="40" name="Date" id="Date" value="%DATE%" /> <span class="twikiGrayText"> </span>
<input class="twikiInputField" %DISABLED% type="hidden" size="40" name="Hour" id="Hour" value="%GMTIME{"$hours:$minutes:$seconds"}%" /> <span class="twikiGrayText"> </span>
</div>
<div class="twikiFormStep twikiLast">
*Topic text:* %BR%
%COMMENT{noform="on" button="Save event"}%
</div>
</div>
</form>

I think I understand the

• twikiFormStep,
• twikiLast,
• twikiFormSteps and
• twikiInputField

elements but I am confused between this comment layout and the ones in the UserCommentTemplate topic. I admit not being able to manipulate the div and class keywords, and acheived the above by copy paste try and error. I am not able to fulfill the requirements r4 and r5. I think I am only missing some lines like

  <input class="twikiInputField" %DISABLED% type="text" ...
  <input class="twikiInputField" %DISABLED% type="select" ...
  <input class="twikiInputField" %DISABLED% type="radio" ...

and some a kind of line like

   redirect...

Thanks for your help
