North Forge:Broken by link: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:59, 2024 May 14

Create a link that will call Form:Broken to generate a page in the Broken: namespace with name of current date time.

Form use (ie presence of "edit with form" tab) is set in North Forge:Broken.

The creation of the random page name in the Broken namespace is defined within Form:Broken's info tag.

Opening form with pre-filled field:

https://nf.squirrelslair.ca/index.php?title=Broken:111&action=formedit&returnto=Broken&Broken%5Btool%5D=Test%20tool

But that creates a specifically named page. How would I let the form take care of naming as per its <unique number> setting? Posted here.

steps
Using form link test - this doesn't work for non-logged-in users passing tool name test to make it work for non-logged in users, it needs to be an action=formedit link instead: https://nf.squirrelslair.ca/index.php?title=Broken:111&action=formedit&returnto=Broken

Left to do

make new page have name as determined by form <unique number>
