I've never been good with forms so I'm hoping someone can offer some assistance.
I have a page which I use as a daily journal. This page contains entries in the
following form:
[[#mmmYYYYDD]]
!!!$title
%stimestamp%MMMM DD, YYYY at HH:MM AM/PM%%[[<<]]
$entry
[[#endmmmYYYYDD]]
Explanation:
Line 1: beginning anchor in the form "jan201321"
Line 2: The title of the entry such as "Went shopping today"
Line 3: Timestamp in the form "January 21, 2013 at 12:00 PM" (timestamp is
already defined in a groupheader)
Line 4: The body of the entry such as "Today I went shopping and saw an old
friend.."
Line 5: End anchor in the form "jan201321"
I would like to create a form at the top of that page that will allow me to
post an entry to the page without having to memorize all of the syntax. I read
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Forms but it's all a bit overwhelming. I know
I need the following:
(:input form:)
(:input hidden name=n value={$FullName}:)
(:input for beginning anchor?:)
(:input for $title?:)
(:input for timestamp?:) (separate text boxes for date and time and AM/PM?)
(date picker?)
(:input for text body?:)
(:input for end anchor?:)
How to get the form to post to the page?
(:input end:)
Can someone help me build this form? How do I specify markup syntax? How do I
specify to which page to add the post? I'm not sure if I need specific cookbook
recipes. I know there is commentboxplus but I would like to learn how to build
this form to help me understand how forms work. I have a feeling I'll also
learn how to create a nice looking date picker :)
