Question

Hello,

when I want to add a form to a template according to the procedure desribed in TwikiForms, there is no "Add Form"-Button available when editing the template topic. The WEBFORMS-variable is set in the WebPreferences-topic. Is there any setting that I need to check? Everything else is working fine.

Best regards, Jens

Does WEBFORMS list the form topic?

-- ArthurClemens - 29 Apr 2008

Yes, it does. When I put %WEBFORMS% in a topic, it lists the form.

Check this:

• is WEBFORMS overloaded at a lover level (such as your user preferences)?
• is WEBFORMS listed in the FINALPREFERENCES, preventing overloading?

As a quick workaround, edit the template topic and add &templatetopic=MyOwnForm to the URL.

In the meantime I can answer my question: When disabeling EditChapterPlugin in configure the button comes back.

I had the same Problem. The Button is there, but he is not displayed. He is disabled in " pub/TWiki/EditChapterPlugin/ecpstyles.css"

/* some twiki fixes */
.twikiChangeFormButtonHolder,
.twikiToc img {
  display:none; /*< should be inline */
}
