Moin Form Create/Submit

Generates arbitrary forms. Submitted data can be processed in two different ways:

• by any action that is able to process submitted data (single action execution only)

• by FormSubmit action plugin which can be found in ActionMarket (supports execution of multiple actions)

FormCreate

The following HTML elements are currently supported:

• Text field
• Text area
• Upload field
• Select box
• Check box
• Radio button
• Submit button

For installation all Python files from the download archive (ver. 1.7) must be copied to path wiki/data/plugin/macro/.

This macro does also work on moin version 1.9.6.

FormSubmit

Set of actions to process data from HTML form. Forms should be created by FormCreate macro.

Plugin currently supports the following actions:

• submitattachment - attach file into specified wikipage

• submitcsv - appends submited data into csv file

• submitemail - send submited data on specified email

For installation all Python files from the download archive (ver. 1.7) must be copied to path wiki/data/plugin/action/.

This action plugin does not work on moin version 1.9.6, because the internal structure has changed from version 1.8 to 1.9. In version 1.9 the web framework Werkzeug is used.

Fortunately I could develop a patch to make it run under moin version 1.9.6. The debugging was done with MoinWinpdb.

I have tested the function submitcsv only.

For the changes see the diff files submitbase.diff and submitcsv.diff:
