webgen users - Oct 2008 - Web Form

Hi
I''m new to webgen and I''m trying to include a web form in my
webgen
generated site.  If I include raw html, the generated source comes up
as blank.  The only meta information included on the page is the
title.

Do I need to do something special?

Thanks,
Sid

Hi,

Please, could you paste your code?

It seems that you may escape it with
<notextile>form_code</notextile>
or something like this.

I prefer to embed webgen generated html with forms,
generated by
free online database <a href="http://
www.mytaskhelper.com">MyTaskHelper.com</a>

Here you can design your Database, and than share it, using iframe.


For example if you need to extend your webgen powered site with
Mailing List:

- Creating Database - Mailing List
- Creating Entity "Email"
- Creating Emails property - email, name, ...
- Making your database public
- Getting widget code
- Copy/paste widget code to webgen source page, it will be like:

<iframe src=''http://www.mytaskhelper.com/widgets/
dVGHOgMhGr3zQ9adbpuoHa/avd3heMhKr3zQ9adbpuoHa''
             width=''600px'' height=''220px''
scrolling=''no''
frameborder=''0''>
</iframe>


- run webgen
- enjoy

Now you have static site with dynamic form!

In this way you can create more forms, and thanks to webgen easily
generate your site in a moment!

Thanks,
Igor

webgen uses a Markup language like Textile or Markdown for writing
page files by default. webgen 0.4.x uses Textile as default, 0.5.x
Markdown. Both markup languages normally allow the inclusion of HTML
tags but some HTML tags may be filtered out. So, as Igor already
suggested, could you post your page file? This would help greatly!

And what version of webgen are you using (run `webgen version`)?

Yes, I''m using Markdown for writing the pages, and I thought I should
just be able to use the HTML form tags to generate the form.
Anyway, I''m using Webgen version 0.5.5.  The code for the default
template is at:

http://pastie.org/pastes/305004

The actual page on which I have the form only has the form tags in the
content section.

I created a new site with ''webgen create formtest'', updated
the
default.template to be the one from the pastie and added the following
page file as src/test.page:

---
title: Test
in_menu: true
---
<form action="/pastes" class="new_paste"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
id="new_paste" method="post">
<label style="font-size:0.7em;
color:#999">Language:</label>
<select id="paste_parser" name="paste[parser]">
<option value="actionscript">ActionScript</option>
<option value="c++">C/C++</option>
<option value="css">CSS</option>
<option value="diff">Diff</option>
</select>

<p>
<textarea class="pastebox" cols="40"
id="paste_body" name="paste[body]"
rows="22" tabindex="20"></textarea> <input
id="paste_authorization"
name="paste[authorization]" type="hidden"
value="booger" /> </p>
<input type="hidden" name="key" value="" />

</form>

After running webgen, the output looks fine, ie. all of the above shows
up in the generated HTML file.

So, it may be your configuration file? Could you post it?
