[xwiki-users] creating a "standard" document using a form

[Robin Fernandes]

So you just want a form to create new documents, rather than inserting
& clicking links to non-existent documents? How about this:

#set($parent="$doc.fullName")
#set($defaultSpace="SandBox")
#set($defaultDocument="NewDocument")
#includeTopic("xwiki:XWiki.XWikiCommonJavascript")
<form action="">
<input type="hidden" name="parent" value="$parent">
Space: <input type="text" name="spacename" value="$defaultSpace">
Document: <input type="text" name="docname" value="$defaultDocument"
onchange="updateName(this)">
<br />
<br />
<input type="button" value="Create this Document"
onclick='action="../../edit/" + this.form.spacename.value + "/" +
this.form.docname.value; this.form.submit();'>
</form>

I think your mistake was to use the 'inline' action (which is for
editing a document's objects/metadata) instead of 'edit'. Note that
you'll then end up with "orphaned" documents, unless you take measures
to link to them from somewhere.

Regards,
Robin
