I'm using tags to track the order status (i.e. _new, _inprocess, _completed). What I'm stuck on right now is that I'd like to somehow create an "administrative notes" field in the form so that the site admins can enter specific notes about the status of the order beyond the tags. I was hoping for some clever use of CSS to hide the field from customers and only display it for site admins when editing the form. Since I wasn't able to figure that out, I ended up using per page comments to accomplish this. With proper permissions and some CSS tweaks I was able to hide the per page comments from customers. This works OK, but I'd really prefer to use a single form field to collect these notes.

As a side note, I came up with a "poor man's captcha" that some may find useful to prevent robots from filling out the forms and submitting them. It uses regular expressions to allow only specific text (e.g. "CONFIRM") and it effectively makes the field required and it won't save until the proper phrase is entered into the text box. I also used it as a means for the users to agree to the terms of the sample program.

  terms: label: Terms type: static value: The terms of the agreement go here... acceptterms: label: Type ACCEPT to agree to these terms type: text width: 10 match: /^ACCEPT/ 

Another thing I learned that I didn't realize is that you can use the [[module css]] inside an [[iftags]] block. There was one element of the comments module I could not hide from just customers (the "Add a New Comment" button), so I used the following code to toggle the display of the comments module #thread-container on and off:

 [[iftags -_notes]] [[module css]] #thread-container { display: none; } [[/module]] [[/iftags]] [[iftags +_notes]] [[module css]] #thread-container { display: block; } [[/module]] [[/iftags]] [[button set-tags +_notes text="Show Order Status Notes" class="tag-buttons"]] [[button set-tags -_notes text="Hide Order Status Notes" class="tag-buttons"]] 

Has anyone run into a need like this and found a solution? Like I said, my current solution works fine, but my primary user would have an easier time editing a single form field for his notes.

I have relaxed permissions so Wikidot user can view page options and the source. My form template pages are here:

Thanks!

A slight modification of the definition list would serve my need, and my need would also be served if I can introduce a tab stop. Can we have tab stops?

The labels in my lists are things like times of day or room numbers. The system might figure out the correct width to use, but if I have to specify it myself, for example in units of (TeX) "em", then I don't mind that either.

I like the tool. The syntax is very much like that of a hyperlink, only using "knowl=" instead of "href=". That link can be attached to any piece of text and the expansion text is then introduced immediately after the paragraph in which the link appears. Knowls can be nested.

In order to introduce Knowls into a plain HTML/CSS page one needs three lines of CSS code in the preamble and they link to a remote site, quite similar to the way MathJax is presently implemented.

I would be grateful for advice about how I should customize my theme or what else I should do in order to use these Knowls in my pages on wikidot.

I'll temporarily leave my site open but I have to replace the missing data soon. You can see the code on the template, and if you try to edit the audioplay below then you see the two different behaviours.

http://nervabeacon.wikidot.com/audioplay:_template
http://nervabeacon.wikidot.com/audioplay:conglomerate

There are clear pros and cons to this idea, depends on type of data.

1. Bypass the regular tag system. Set up a new category 'search:'.
2. On a live template for 'search:' put a ListPages module as you would for tag search results but using the link_to this page "." method. (backlinks)
3. On your data forms (for proper content pages) put in multiple pagepath fields for category search:, named tag1, tag2, etc.
4. Style the field values to sit at the bottom of the final page like tags would.

When users fill out the form they can create a new page on the pagepath within the data form. That page will automatically go in the category "search" using the live template. And it will appear on the saved data form page as a link to the search page. The search page will show all pages that have the same link in their tags section. It's a shadow page structure that acts like tags.

Has anybody tried this before?

"Expert tip #8: The harmonica's wiki"

and i want to be like this

"The harmonica's wiki"

Is it possible?

Tnk you very much

(my wiki is www.fysarmonika.wikidot.com)

I have tried to edit my own page at http://www.wikidot.com/user:info/vibracobra23 and can find no way of editing it, although it's fairly obvious that I have edited it in the past. The information given there is now very out of date. Is there any way that we can edit these pages?

Is it possible to embed a module in an HTML page in such a way that I could:
1. use forms to select which tags to search for (a la Amazon searching, e.g. brand:…, price range:…, …)
2. extract that list of tags using JavaScript
3. write that list of tags inside tags="…" of the module
4. have the module generate a list of page names and tags that is put into another JavaScript function, where I can then sort them in my preferred order (level, wear location, alphabetical)
5. make the output of that last JavaScript function generate the list of [[include pagename]] as the final output to the page.

I'd also be happy enough changing step 4 to 'have module output the list of includes to the page' and removing step 5, if that is necessary.

Here's a link to the page I'm testing this on Item Search, where you can see the module inside the [[html]] tags is not parsed by Wikidot, the first module outside tries to parse the <p> block as a tag, and the second module outside works as expected.

Is there a way to make modules and HTML work in harmony?
Or at least a way to use my JavaScript form to populate a tag list for a module?

Thanks,
Ceradel

Added:
I'm also working on modifying the attributes via URL, in case it can't work as I've described, but am running into the trouble of the page reloading inside the HTML frame, rather than in the window (See the example here). Also, when I try to manipulate the URL manually to choose the tags, it will only accept the last tag put in, rather than the string of tags (Example with 18 and chain tags selected, but only chain tags show).

In the "addpage box", the user types the song. This is the Title field.
This i want to do is to give the form a structure which is able to make a pagetree in which there will be also columns with artists and when clicking on them to appear the songs of each one. For example, i want when someone searches for Beatles' songs, to have all Beatles' songs data when clicking on Beatles. How can i do this?

Thank you a lot

The page i'm talking about is this: http://fysarmonika.wikidot.com/wiki:diatoniki-fysarmonika-meros-1o

Thank you a lot

 This is a bulleted list. * First bullet. [[$ y=x^2 $]] continue this first bullet. * Second bullet * Third bullet End of list 

Now I want to change it so that the in-line equation becomes a displayed equation. But then I need the display-math tag, and it needs a carriage return. Best I can do is the following:

 This is a bulleted list. * First bullet. [[math]] y=x^2 [[/math]] continue this first bullet. * Second bullet * Third bullet End of list 

Of course, this does not come out right. The "continue this first bullet" is not indented and the vertical spacing is wrong. In effect, entering the display-math environment throws me out of the list environment.

Please advise!

The module: [[module PetitionAdmin]]

You will see that the petition table only collects information such as name, city, state, and email.

How can I add more fields to the table?

I would like to add 'title' and 'department'.

This is a petition to be signed by professors and that's why I need their titles and department (e.g. Assistant Professor, Department of Biology).

Thanks.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Using a dataform to upload a image. it creates a blank page in the assigned category using the following code:
Item1:
document:
type: file
label: Add a Reward Item Image
category: AdvQuestRewardItem

Ive then gone and created a template for the category advquestrewarditem, on that template im using the %%name%% to list the title of the page and the gallery tag to display the image. ok.. so everyhing is working great so far!.. but.. now here's where im starting to struggle. On just mentioned page, i would also like for it to automatically link / display a link to the page name that the image was uploaded on..

so page 1 = the page that is created using the template that uploads the image
image page(page2) displays the image using the gallery tag, and i want to display a link back to page 1 automatically…

Is there a way to do this, that i havent been able to find, or figure out yet? I thought about using the parent property, but haven't been able to figure out any way to set the parent automatically..

Thank you in advance!
