    • insert original value into a form

    Posted by sooeydoo posts: 68

    I would like to insert an original value into a form - something like including "username" into the username field.

    I want to write in the Heading field of tiki-edit_submission.php page, "Insert Link Here" so that whenever the page loads, this comes up as a guideline to people who submit articles.

    Could somebody please tell me how I do this. I used to previously edit the tiki-edit_submission.tpl file and just included it after $heading|escape) and before /textarea>

    However, it is not working with 1.85 now. Please advise.

    in the php you have to do something like
    $smarty->assign('username', $user)

    After you can use {$username} in the associated tpl

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    {if $heading}{$heading|escape}{€lse}{$username|escape}

    Thanks Sylvie, but I think I did not frame my question properly.

    In the tiki-edit_submission page, in the Heading field of that page, whenever that page loads, I want the following to appear as a guideline for the submitting author:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    [ Insert Link here | Source ]


    So that, the author understands that all he has to do is replace "Insert Link here" with the URL itself.

    Please tell me how to do that.

    In the tiki-edit_submission.tpl page, change this:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    <textarea class="wikiedit" name="heading" rows="5" cols="80" id='subheading' wrap="virtual">
{$heading|escape}
</textarea>


    to this:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    <textarea class="wikiedit" name="heading" rows="5" cols="80" id='subheading' wrap="virtual">
{if $heading}{$heading|escape}{else}[ Insert Link Here | Source]{/if}
</textarea>


    This way, if the page already has a heading, it will be displayed. However, if the page does not yet have a heading, the user will see: Source

    Never mind, Sylvie - I rectified this problem and many others by using edit_article.php rather than edit_submission.php

    I could rectify this problem by my old method itself, which I gave here.

    The other problems that are present in edit_submission.php are: Dating all submissions to 1970 by default! And not displaying all Article types that were created. These problems are also solved by using edit_article.php

    Can you pls attach your modified edit_article.php?
