DESCRIPTION

This purpose of this plugin is to let your Kwiki User edit pages even more easily. They only have to type some characters into a given form, submit it, and done. Not even Kwiki formatter syntax knowledged required.

The basic idea is from mac.com hompage editing, they provide a nearly WYSIWYG web interface to edit your homepage, because the have many pr-defined HTML templates, which are a big form, after you submit that form, what you just inputed replace the original input fields, becomes the content of the generated page.

The "page_template_fields" wafl block is a YAML block where you can define your form variables, and their input types, if the type is a array, it'll become a pull-down select menu. After user submit the form, this plugin will generate a page prefixed with the value "page_template_page_id_prefix", default to "PageTemplateGenerated" in your config/page_template.yaml, but you may specify "page_id_prefix" in the page_template_fields wafl block to override this. The example given in SYNOPSIS demostrate this feature, let the form generate a page named like "Resume3", the number afterwards are increased automatically each time somebody submit the form.

By default, the generated page will preserve same look as in the "page_template" block. But if you want to display the generated page in another look, you may write the template code in "page_template_display" wafl block.

This plugin is still in it's early development and currently, re-editing the generated page is not implemented, and something may break in the future. So use it at your on risk.
