Issuepedia: Technology: Form Templates
[edit] Overview
Form Templates is a tool (well, actually a combination of tools) which make it easier to enter data into Issuepedia in a useful way. The pilot form, Issuepedia:Form.link.news, simplifies the process of creating a page for storing data about a news or opinion link. The resulting pages are categorized in such a way that they show up, nicely formatted, on the pages for which they have been tagged. (The process is still a little awkward; improvements will be ongoing.)
The Form Templates tool is actually a combination of the following tools:
- the Simple Forms extension
- the CreatePage special page, written specifically for this purpose
- several other extensions which help with the automatic display of tagged pages
This will all be documented eventually at greater length on HTYP.
