Re: [SMW-devel] Is it possible to have several {{{standard input|free text}}} fields on a form?
Hi Kim, The reason multiple free-text inputs aren't supported is that it simply becomes untenable for the code to support them in all cases, especially when there's more than one template involved. Let's say, for instance, that a form is structured as: {{{free text 1}}} {{{template A}}} {{{template B}}} {{{free text 2}}} ...and then it has to edit a page like: ...free text... {{B}} ...free text... {{A}}} ...free text... How would the free text be distributed among the two inputs? There's no good solution, as far as I can tell. One halfway-solution, for the specific case of a template between two free text areas, is to use a partial form to just edit that template; those are described in the documentation. There are some bugs in the handling of partial forms, but it works for simple cases. Over the long term, one thing on the SF roadmap that I'd really like to add is support for a {{{section}}} tag, which treats a section with a header as a structured part of the page that can be added to the form. As long as there are consistent headers in the page structure, I think that would solve problems like this one in a straightforward way. -Yaron On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 5:44 AM, Kim Eik wrote: > Well, would it really be that hard to enable multiple free-text in a > given form?

Re: [SMW-devel] Is it possible to have several {{{standard input|free text}}} fields on a form?
Sure you don't have to assign it to a semantic property but the text will be wraped in a template which brings us to a problem. The problem is that in this text not everything is allowed. That brings me to the question I wrote earlier http://www.mail-archive.com/semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03474.html - how can we better develop escaping. Multiple {{{free text}}}s is also an alternative to escaping. - Yury Katkov On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 1:32 PM, Stephan Gambke wrote: > Hi Kim, > > the problem is, that free text has no identification attached to it in > the final page.

Re: [SMW-devel] Is it possible to have several {{{standard input|free text}}} fields on a form?
Well, would it really be that hard to enable multiple free-text in a given form? As far as i understood on Stephan, we could attach an id to each free-text instance?

Hi Kim! > Say if someone wanted to have a form in the middle of a page, and some free text above and below the form. I think the only thing we can do now is to use textarea+WikiEditor and store the next inside the template. I'm not aware of possibility to insert the templates to the end of the page via Semantic Forms. - Yury Katkov On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 1:23 PM, Kim Eik wrote: > Today if you specify two or more {{{standard input|free text}}} a form > page and you input value in them both.

Re: [SMW-devel] Is it possible to have several {{{standard input|free text}}} fields on a form?
Hi Kim, the problem is, that free text has no identification attached to it in the final page. There is no definite way for SF to figure out which piece of text goes where. What you can do instead is to define a normal text area input and then display this in the template however you want. You don't have to assign it to a semantic property.
