Thsi looks not pretty now - the button to click into and press enter is under the link… this should be inside a float dive on the right side off the link…
Have a look on http://www.chinesemedicinewiki.org/formula:bai-he-gu-jin-tang
and the changed template: http://www.chinesemedicinewiki.org/formula:_template

Click on the inserted new poage button and press enter!
You will be lead to a NEW WINDOW with the filled title ( = name) and the opening dataform field template for "herbs"…

That is easy to solve!

This will not work : [[module NewPage category="herb parent0"herb;main""]] - because you cannot define the PAGE-NAME!

You need only the new "Extended NewPage Module" page button for every link ( like now in the parenthis) like:

 ++ Composition: * [[[herbs:%%form_data{ingredient1}%%]]] ( herbs:%%form_data{ingredient1}%% ) [[include :snippets:newpage |category=herbs |name=%%form_data{ingredient1}%% |parent=herbs:main |size=16em |button=Click to create and Enter! |window=new |title=%%form_data{ingredient1}%% ]]

Re: Data Form Fields for Admins

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:24:27 +0000

If I understand you correct - you have created a parallel "private" category - accessible only for admins - with the equal or same pagename to hold the comments of the admins?
This is eay to be included on any "public" _template I think … and has to be controlled if in some ListPages the content is displayed..
like ..
[[include admin-category:%%name%%]] ( with or without variables).

This prevents the display in an easy way…

This could work like the old "talk" option of Wikidot - a parallel category to every page..

yes, but is the place for this 50% enough for this lot of text?

I was kind of hoping the text would wrap but when I tried it alot of elements did not.
The main reason is that it looks funny on my phone with that bottom right box sticking out further. On that note, is there a way to make a phone optimized version of a site that would allow a re-direct? Because that would be nice…

at http://vineyard.wikidot.com/herbtest:_template where I have demonstrated this for you

That was helpful, I tried to cut and paste just the cell, table, and div elements and it kind of borked the page (my fault im sure) so for now I have just left it as is… Even on yours the bottom two containers look funny, as if they don't properly wrap text.
Perhaps a set width is just easier and more stable.

How do I get the Listpages to display in a few columns? do I need to use a table for that here:http://www.chinesemedicinewiki.org/herbal-formulas

I tried some variants of your idea, but you can't place modules inside SUO. I was really trying to accomplish this without creating the companion pages, but my primary user seems happy with what I came up with. I guess that's what's important here. I don't like that we have to use a settags function to toggle the display of the notes because it exposes the notes to everyone until the display of them is toggled off. As long as my user remembers to hide the notes after editing them, then we should be OK.

Is it possible to add an Iframe that automatically does a google image search for the herb?

Yes, because we can pass the value of a dataform field into an html block (which I think is a very recent addition to the functionality) it's possible to use the google image search api to do this. The code is below and I have set it to search for the latin name on wikipedia but you will probably have a different source.

 [[html]]   Google AJAX Search API Sample     Loading...
  [[/html]]

You can see this working on the pages in the full list of herbs at my test page at http://vineyard.wikidot.com/herbs:main, for example the herb Agastache rugosa at http://vineyard.wikidot.com/herb:5

EDIT:
:ok, now a little bit more in the deep:

I see your sites are all "private" - this makes it a little bit more difficult for us…

but it would be interesting, if you use in the code the div tag with the class="google_translate", which is probably not defined on your site… in the "module CSS" of the page or "site-wide" CSS definitions.

The code inserted above is inserted on our nav:side menu - have a look on the source of this page!

And: you can use the google transltion here from "english" to ever language goolge can translate - and I get no empty lines on my browser output ? !

Yes you can force each of the lower column widths to 50% but you need to turn the whole thing into a single table, use floats and percentage widths for various elements. This is called a fluid or liquid layout. Have a look at the source code on my test page at http://vineyard.wikidot.com/herbtest:_template where I have demonstrated this for you. If you change the browser width you'll see that the left and right cells remain at 50% of the width of the top row.

Re: Help with page templates and site structuring

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:21:15 +0000

There are several problems:

1) you have pasted in a div but not closed it:

 [[div style="border:1px solid #888888; border-radius: 5px; min-height:300px; padding: 5px; width:750px;"]] [[include :snippets:image |image=/tcmherbs:css/tcm_chart.jpg |width=150px |float=right |heading= |caption= |link= ]]

So you must add a closing [[/div]] where you want the div to end, which is presumably after the two listpage modules below the snippet.

2) that same div has a fixed width of 750px but is inside a parent container (the left cell of the table) which has a width of 50%. Thiis will break your table. The width:750px in the div should be removed.

3) you have a closing [[/module]] without a module. It's at:

 [[module NewPage size="50" category="acupuncture-techniques" parent="acupuncture:main" button="Add a new Acupuncture technique"]] %%content{2}%% [[/module]] [[module ListPages category="acupuncture-point, tuina, moxibustion, cupping, guasha, point-prescription, acupuncture-technique" separate="false" limit="20" order="dateEditedDesc" prependLine="Recently edited articles: \"]]

The [[/module]] should be deleted.

Re: Help with page templates and site structuring

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:35:27 +0000

I have changed the code on your page.

Thanks:)

The problem you have is that on your herbs:main page you ask the user to select a category and a formula category. But there is no data relationship between the two. So you can change the category but leave the formula categoy unchanged and your second listpages module will still display the formula that was there before. With the way you have done it there is no way round this. To get it to display properly you will have to add a category field into the formula:_template dataform that is the same as the category in the herb:_template. Then your second listpages module you would need to display the list based on the selection of both the category and the formula category, for example:

Actually, I originally had no intention for that type of cross searching, but it could be useful. It would take some extensive editing of the function lists in the data sheets and there are only some categories that are the same between single herbs and formulas.

As It is, it seems like there are more steps than I would like. I would prefer on herbs:main to have the ability to select to display for the three main child pages (herb, formula, patent) a chosen category. Similar to what the drop down lists are now when you edit that page. So in the herbs section, a user could select to display all herbs from "heat-clearing", or all formulas that "drain-damp", but no need to do both. I suppose I could make another page for each "function" of the herbs (like heat-clearing) that would list pages from that category.

Re: Data Form Fields for Admins

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:31:19 +0000

After noodling over this for a few hours, I think I have a better, but not ideal solution. I'm going to set up a companion category for orders and samples to contain the administrative notes for each page. I'll then include the page and use CSS to toggle the display. Something like this in the live template to create a link to the page and an include to display the contents.

 [[div class="order-notes"]] ++ Order Notes [/%%category%%-notes:%%name%%/edit/true Edit Notes] [[include %%category%%-notes:%%name%%]] [[/div]]

Then modifying my toggle buttons to work like this:

 [[iftags -_notes]] [[module css]] .order-notes { display: none; } [[/module]] [[/iftags]] [[iftags +_notes]] [[module css]] .order-notes { 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"]]

This will still require turning the display of the notes section on when we want to make changes and then turning it off to hide them from customers, but at least we can have a single page holding all of the notes relevant to the order.

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:13:22 +0000

Some comments on your http://www.chinesemedicinewiki.org/herb:_template

You can't do the following because it mixes up wiki code with the dataform structure:

 width:50 height:6 default: [!--You can enclose notes about your edits like this and it will not be visible on the page. Bibliography references should be made like this [((bibcite LABEL))] where LABEL is the source label in the bibliography section below--]

If you want to add something like this then use a static field, e.g.

  bibcitehint: type: static value: You can enclose notes about your edits like this and it will not be visible on the page. Bibliography references should be made like this [((bibcite LABEL))] where LABEL is the source label in the bibliography section below

Bibliogaphy

You currently have:

 source: label: Sources type: wiki width:50 height:4 default: [[bibliography]] : LABEL : full source reference entered here [[/bibliography]]

I must disagree slightly with helmuti here because his solution mixes up wiki code within the dataform structure and I really don't think it will work although I will have another look at it. The only way I can see that you can do this is to have a wiki field for each possible bliography entry. For example, in the dataform the fields could be:

  source1: label:Sources type:text width:50 source2: type:text width:50 join:true

and above the separator you would display it with:

 [[bibliography]] : LABEL : %%form_raw{source1}%% : LABEL : %%form_raw{source2}%% [[/bibliography]]

I have only used 2 fields but you could have whatever number you thought would be a reasonable maximum. But the problem is that it does force a limit on the number of bibliography entries.

An example of that is at http://vineyard.wikidot.com/band:fairport-convention

Also, I tried to add the formula category here: http://www.chinesemedicinewiki.org/herbs:main. I got some of it by pasting the code from the herbs but something is not right. Selecting on "release exterior wind cold" and it gets messy.

You've not said what "it gets messy means" but there was a minor error in your second ListPages module on the herbs:_template page so that the formulas table wouild display nothing. You had written:

 [[module ListPages category="formula" _category="%%form_raw{category}%%" etc etc

This was incorrect because you were actually wanting a list based on the selection made in the category2 field. So the correct code should be:

 [[module ListPages category="formula" _category="%%form_raw{category2}%%" perPage="20" order="name" separate="false" prependLine="||||||~ The following formulas are in the %%form_data{category}%% category||" appendLine="||||||||~ ||"]] || %%title_linked%% || %%form_data{ingredient1}%% || %%form_data{ingredient2}%% || [[/module]]

I have changed the code on your page.

The problem you have is that on your herbs:main page you ask the user to select a category and a formula category. But there is no data relationship between the two. So you can change the category but leave the formula categoy unchanged and your second listpages module will still display the formula that was there before.

Data Form Fields for Admins

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:37:43 +0000

I recently created a couple of data forms for a customer to submit an order (one form is to order a sample product, the other is for a "real" order). After sorting out the permissions so anonymous users can save the forms and upload files, everything is working great.

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"]]

It actually works quite well.

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:

3 Questions

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:04:22 +0000

I started a new site recently (my site)and the home page says "Blank Template." How do you change this to say "Welcome" instead. My second question is how do you add a logo or small pic onto the upper left side above the side panel. My third question is, on my site, "my account" button and "edit this menu" button has overlapped on top of each other since I changed the site theme. How do you delete just the "edit this menu" button so it doesn't overlap.

Thanks, Helmuti! Oddly enough, it's working now…
I don't think the problem had to do with the page's creation data, since older pages, and pages created around the same time, were showing up fine in searches.
Anyway, the problem seems to be solved now, but the mystery remains…
Thanks again!

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:35:08 +0000

oh, I see the possible misunderstanding of my sentences, what I mean is in more detail

You put either
A.1.) only the %%form_raw{source}%% alone in the _template under the label "Source:"
and
A.2) let key in - in the data form field "source" - on the single dataform pages all 3 lines
[[bibliography]]
: one : full source reference
[[/bibliography]]

B.1.) put all 3 lines of
[[bibliography]]
%%form_raw{source}%%
[[/bibliography]]

in the _template under the label "Source:"
and
B.2) let key in - in the data form field "source" - on the single dataform pages only the bicite text alone
(without the [[bibliography]] &[[/bibliography]])

example:
: one : full source reference

So - bibcite is working now.
1. I have changed the form_data to form_raw for function (! ?) and source
- to insert the naked wiki text - but the "WIKI" field- type let the field be parsed..
2. I have no idea if it would be better to have the "biblio" - tag itself on the template and only the reference lines stored on the page ( works in the prior _template version too !)
like
%%form_raw{source}%%
[[/bibliography]]

or put all 3 lines into the field and only the form-raw(function) into the template

[[bibliography]]
: one : full source reference
[[/bibliography]]

I'm not sure I fully understand these differences. I do see that you changed from form_data to form_raw. Do I need to do this for all sections of the form that I want people to be able to enter bibcit from? I need that wikipedia like function for citing through out most of the forms except for "common knowledge"

I'm wondering if there is a way to download the content of the forms in a csv, that should be possible right?

No. You might want to add this add a wish at the Feedback site.

is there a way to have some text automatically in a form from the _template?

You can set a default value in your dataform structure in the live template. See the reference section at the bottom of the dataforms documentation for the syntax

Is it possible to add an Iframe that automatically does a google image search for the herb?

That should be possible, we can already bring up a google map based on a postcode entered into a dataform, so something to bring back a herb image should in theory be doable.

I'm going out now but will look at this and your other questions later unless someone else answers them first.

Would be interesting - the SOURCE of the page - looks like only links and _template content? ( we have no chance to see the source..)

NO, the search for "category:tese "Umutina" or "morfoligia" finds nothuing from this page.

You should copy the link of this thread into a new bug-message/ page:
http://feedback.wikidot.com/bugs:_all

Could be , that the age of the page is iomportant..?

We see the questions and posts wherever they are posted but I've not had time to deal with your previous post yet. But to answer your first question: no there is no mechanism to uplosad a spreadsheet direct to the dataforms. It's possible that the API might be able to help but I'm not one of the gurus with API skills so someone else would have to answer that. I'll look at the other things you've raised later today.

I just realized that a page in my site is immune to search. It is not a new page, and all (hopefully) other pages containing similar search terms show up fine. The mysterious page can be reached at http://tinyurl.com/searchproblems

Any insights, please?

Re: Printing List All pages

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:53:19 +0000

Have a look at my page at http://www.strathviewconsultants.co.uk/support:multi-column-table where you can see I have used a combination of limit=, perPage= and offset= to produce the list. An example of the code is shown below although I have put the full code at the bottom of the page.

 [[div style="float:left;"]] [[module ListPages category="support" order="title" perPage="200" limit="200" offset="150" separate="false" prependLine="||~ Page ||" appendLine="||~ ||"]] || %%title_linked%% || [[/module]] [[/div]]

Each column starts from where the bottom of the previous one ends and it doesn't paginate. I think it does what you want.
