Hi guys,
I'm an experienced software engineer but scripting XWiki still seems to be about as clear as mud to me.
I know I could create a Form. I know this could result in a new Page being generated. However, I have no idea how to make this happen. Is an event raised when I submit the form? If so, how do I attach a handler to that event? What do I then need to do to squeeze the user-provided data into a page generated from a template? Or into some data store from which a templated page would be generated?
I would be incredibly grateful if someone could throw together a very quick walk-through of doing the following from a web browser:
Creating a new form with a singular field, e.g. Name Writing the code which takes the contents of this form and creates a new page with title "Name's Greeting" and content "Hello, Name!"
This does raise further questions. For example: Can a user go back later and edit the data in the form? Or would the resulting page need to be edited instead?
