Description

How to edit pages in the wiki with FlexForm

Parameters

_edit

target = Target page ( title or page id ) that needs to be edited

template = Name of the template on the target page that needs to be edited

formfield = Name of the field in the template. Field in the form should have the same name

usefield = [optional] If the field in the form differs from the template variable name, you can use "usefield" to let _edit know what other field from the form it should use

value = [optional] Don't read the value from the form field, but use this value explicitly

mwslot = [optional] Name of content slot to use

Example

<_edit target="pageid" template="template" formfield="formfield" />

Note

  • You can have multiple _edit's in a form all doing different tasks.
  • If you have more than 5 edits to one singe page in the wiki, consider create to speed-up the process.
  • If you omit value, then the value of the form will be used (so what a user has filled in).
