New subject: [xwiki-users] Re: how to create a form with xWiki?

14 Apr 2005

Hi,

To help I would need to know if the objective is to register user on the 
wiki or if the registration is for some other purpose.
I suppose it is separate from the wiki registration.

In this case you are pretty close to it.. The only thing that is wrong 
is the "saving" part.
You have currently copied the way it is done for the wiki registration 
(which calls the createUser function which does the actual wiki page 
creation but also other things).
The right way to do it for other data than user registration is to 
redirect the form to the "inline" or "save" action.
If you redirect the form to the inline action you will get a form that 
users can fill in and that will then go to the "save" action. This is 
the way it works for blog articles in the default wiki.
However this means two steps: one for choosing the wiki page name which 
will hold the information and the other for filing  in the data itself.
You can however directly send the data to the "save" page.

The following code allows to direct to the "inline" action

#includeTopic("XWiki.XWikiCommonJavascript")
<form action="" id="newdoc">
<input type="hidden" name="parent" value="Main.WebHome"
/>
<input type="hidden" name="template" 
value="XWiki.RegistrationClassTemplate" />
<input type="hidden" name="sheet" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="webname" value="Main"/>
<input type="text" name="name" value="name"
size="18"/>
<input type="button" value="Add this item" onclick='if 
(updateName(this.form.name)) { action="../../inline/" + 
this.form.webname.value + "/" + this.form.name.value; 
this.form.submit(); }' />
</form>

 Hi,
 I am completly new to xwiki. I would like to create a basic form to store
 registration (only last name info for the moment). Here is what I have
 already tried, but it does not work. I don't understand what I am 
 supposed to
 do in order to store the new registration (should I create a Java 
 class for
 this?)
 Any help would be appreciate - is there some demo available?
 thanks,

 ====================
 XWiki.RegistrationClass:
 attribute name (String)
 ====================
 XWiki.RegistrationClassSheet code:
 1 Registration
 #set( $obj = $doc.getObject("XWiki.RegistrationClass", 0))
 #set( $class = $obj.xWikiClass)
 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
 <tr>
 <td> *First Name:* </td>
 <td>$doc.display("first_name", $obj)</td>
 </tr>
 </table>
 ====================
 XWiki.RegistrationClassTemplate:
 #includeForm("XWiki.RegistrationSheet")
 ====================
 Main.Registration:
 1 Registration
 #set ($register = $request.getParameter("register"))

 #if ($register)
 Registration of *$request.getParameter("register_first_name")*

 #set( $class = $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.RegistrationClass").xWikiClass)
 #set( $reg = $class.newObject() )
 #set($class.first_name = $request.getParameter("register_first_name"))

 #if ($reg>0)
 Your registration has been correctly registered. Thanks.
 #else
 Sorry, an error occured during the registration process.
 #end

 #else
 Please provide us with the following information:

 <form id="register" name="register" action=""
method="get">
 <input type="hidden" name="template" 
 value="XWiki.RegistrationTemplate" />
 <input type="hidden" name="register" value="1">
 #set( $class = $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.RegistrationClass").xWikiClass)
 #set( $obj = $class.newObject() )

 <table class="block" cellspacing="5px" border="0">
 <tr>
 #set($prop = $class.first_name)
 <td>First Name</td>
 <td>$doc.displayEdit($prop, "register_", $obj)</td>
 </tr>
 </table>
 <input type="submit" value="Save My Registration">
 </form>
 #end
 ====================
