Summary of the dev. of formulars in FOM
Basile Chandesris - base@citeweb.net


PURPOSE AND EXEMPLE:

>I need to change the post form for a specific category.
> Instead of having one field, i need 3 fields that would be parse in HTML
> in a specific
> way in HTML and then add as an item of category.
> How i must do that ?
I'm not sure. One way would be to write a front-end CGI wrapper that uses
the API.pm module to make the changes to the FOM. That's clumsy, though.

> Ability to create over-form ?
> ex: The answer of a category dealing with break down of machines :
> must be separated in few fields, to help the user to give the
informations.
>
> machine :
> date :
> causes :
> solution :
>
> and then the result could be parsed as an answer.
This was your previous request. It seems like a good idea. If you can think
of a way to build it, I'll happily accept a patch. :v)

HOW I SEE THIS:
1. Editing a formular 

   (1) Click on [Category : Options (Title, parts order)]
   (2) (then call in the file Item.pm)
       cmd=FormMaker&file=    cmd=FormUse&file 
   (3) then dispatch.pm to run the cgi commands.
   (4)

2. Setting a formular in a category or answer
   = Using a formular already created
