Question

How can I transfer the text from an HTML form to the textfield in the Edit Page when a submit button is pressed? I would like to create a form similar to this support page form.

Answer

Basically, here's what's involved:

• In your HTML form, define a name for data-entry field. For example:

<input type="text" name="mytext" size="60" />

• Also, in the HTML form, designate a Template Topic for the topic you want to create. I.e.:

<input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="MyNewTopicTemplate" />

• In your Template Topic, insert a URLPARAM variable where you want "mytext" to be entered. E.g %URLPARAM{"mytext"}%

Is that clear enough? For more information, see:

• TWikiTemplates
• TWikiVariables.

Also, a hint about figuring out how a particular TWikiApplication works, even if you can't edit the topic, is to view it "raw" mode. Simply append the url of the topic with "?raw=on".
