I think the soon-to-be-released Version 2.1 might have this
form-filling
function re-installed as part of it's Data Manager function.
No, but the add-on that worked for SM 2.0 should also work for 2.1.
So, Jens, what is meant by (from the page I linked to previously):-
"The new Data Manager now unifies cookie, permission, password, and form
data management."
particularly the last three words??
It means that SM 2.1 includes the new Data Manager which allows you to,
among other things, list and individually remove form field values that
are used for form field auto-completion. This data is shown under the
"*" pseudo-domain. In this way it offers a subset of the functionality
of the Form History Control add-on, or differently put, a means of
managing the form data available since SM 2.0.
What it does not offer/include is the functionality provided by SM 1.x,
i.e. a per-site, configurable form manager with the ability to fill
whole forms. That is still only available using add-ons such as Autofill
Forms.
HTH
Jens
so, to put it another way, the Data manager manages data, but doesn't
actually enter it on to forms! Sound like a real advancement to me,
unless, sometime in the future, the form-filling function will be added!!
