---++ FAQ:
How can I create a simple [[TWikiForms][TWiki Form]] based application?


---++ Answer:

   1 Create a TWiki Form and define fields (see TWikiForms for details)
   1 Add the form in the list of Web Forms. Set the variable WEBFORMS in WebPreferences
   1 Create a Template Topic
   1 In edit mode add the [[TWikiForms][TWiki Form]] you defined to the Template Topic using the "Add Form" button
   1 Create a HTML Form with necessary fields
   1 Define =SEARCH= function for listing items (see VarSEARCH for details)

The following is the code source of TWikiFAQ:

<verbatim>
<form action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{edit}%/%WEB%/">
New FAQ topic: &nbsp; (Use a name in TWiki.WikiNotation) <br />
<input type="text" name="topic" size="32" />&nbsp;<input type="submit" class="twikiSubmit" value="Create Topic" />
<input type="hidden" name="onlywikiname" value="on" />
<input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="TWikiFaqTemplate" />
<input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="%TOPIC%" />
<br />
</form>
</verbatim>

And the =SEARCH= function:
<verbatim>
%SEARCH{ "Back to\:__ TWikiFAQ" casesensitive="on" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on"}%
</verbatim>
