SID-01877: Twiki Forms

Hello everyone, I'm making a Form for our society, so that anyone can fill in what they need (for example : summary of meeting, ...) It worked pretty fine till the "confirm" button they need to push to send all the infos. When pressed, it sends me to a page i've selected at the top of my html code. But, it gives me a blank page ! I really don't know how to do to retrieve all the contents my colleague filled in.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance !!

Discussion and Answer

Have you seen the TWiki.org blog How to Create a TWiki Application?

Peter, I just did. But I think this is not really what i want for what I need. I've discovered that there 's also a possibility to create templates. Maybe it will be more appropriate, and less difficult, for what I need : creating a new page for summary of meetings, with always the same layout.

I just need to learn the TWikiTemplates page now !

Check out the MeetingMinutes app.

Hey ! I didn't know about that app, it looks fine. But I think i'll ask the permission to the admin of my society to install it That's the message i receive when button pressed : "Template "Main.SupportingMeetingMinutes2014x02x26" does not exist You are trying to create a topic from a template that does not exist. Contact twiki@sabamPLEASENOSPAM.be if you have any questions. "

You do not need to ask your admin, please read the notes in MeetingMinutes.

Thanks a lot ! It worked for me.

For anyone else reading this thread, there are two kinds of templates in TWiki. Master Templates are complex, backend things written in their own template code language. Master Templates do require an admin to install them and they aren't the right thing for this use case.

If you do refer to TWikiTemplates, be sure to skip past the early parts and concentrate on Template Topics.

Template topics are used in TWiki applications...
