Question

Good Evening!

I am a newbie to TWiki...and Linux as a whole. I have just downloaded and installed today in a VMWare enviroment, everything appears to function correctly and I can access the site, which I guess is a good start!

I need to produce a Wiki based form...I have the original in a Word document, and need to duplicate it so any changes can be kept track of.

Unfortunately as my experience with TWiki is very limited, i'm looking for some pointers in the right direction...the system shows it has EditTablePlugin installed, which I presume is needed? Would I need any other plugins?

Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance...

Dan

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

EditTablePlugin is a good starter, you could fake forms like the following:

Home:	Client list	List of Clients
Short:	ABC	* Short name of Client
Long:	A Brandnew Company	* Full name of Client
Note:	This is a brandnew company producing ...	Info about Client
Since:	2007-11-20	Client since
Page:	http://abc.com	Homepage
Phone:	+1(0)xxx xxxxxx	Phone number
		*...Mandatory

This is pretty comfortable for the users but quite difficult to postprocess by searches.

If you need some more functions you could always use JavaScript and HTML forms and there exist several plugins (Tag:forms) that support form creating.

The EditTablePlugin is fine for simple applications. Look into the TWikiForms feature with FormattedSearch if you need more flexibility.
