Form Plugin

Lets you create simple and advanced web forms.

Main features:

• No html knowledge required to create forms
  • Add input fields, textareas, dropdown select boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons
  • Set preselected values
• Call Foswiki scripts (view, edit, upload, save, etcetera) or custom scripts
• Validate the form before it is sent along
• Get inline validation without additional coding
• Use entered field values as variables
• Add Javascript functions for advanced interaction

Example of inline validation feedback:

See examples in FormPluginExamples.

Introduction

A simple form can be created like this:

%STARTFORM{
   name="myform"
   action="view"
}%%FORMELEMENT{
   name="Name"
   type="text"
   title="Your name:"
   mandatory="on"
}%%FORMELEMENT{
   name="action"
   type="submit"
   buttonlabel="Submit"
}%%ENDFORM%

This results in:

Your name:
*

Parameters

STARTFORM

Parameter	Description	Required	Default value	Example
name	The name of the form. Must be unique. Will also be used as the id, if id is not provided	required	-	name="personaldata"
action	Action of the form. For example: view, viewauth, edit, save, create, rest, %SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/WebHome	required	-	action="viewauth"
restaction	If action is rest: the rest function to call; see CommandAndCGIScripts.	if action is rest	-	restaction="MyPlugin/update"
noformhtml	When set to on no form html will be written to the page. This is useful to set form parameters for form elements that use a different form, for instance with Foswiki:Extensions.CommentPlugin. If used, the parameters name and action are not required.	-	-	noformhtml="on"
id	The id of the form.	-	-	id="thisformid"
strictverification	Checks the request object if fields are defined before; fields that are not set with FORMELEMENT are thrown out of the request object. Set to "off" to allow HTML form fields like <input type="hidden" … />.	-	on	strictverification="off"
validate	Set to "off" to disable form validation; overrules any FORMELEMENT validate parameters. By default forms are validated, and field values checked for possible subsitution values (see Substitution of field references).	-	on	validate="off"
inlinevalidationonly	Together with validate="on": set to "on" to disable server-side (backend) validation: only inline validation using javascript is used. This means that when javascript is not enabled on the client machine, no validation will take place, and no redirection to the current topic (there is no validation to fail). Note that inline validation can be bypassed and is not secure. For operation critial forms always use server-side validation as well (and do not use this setting).	-	off: server-side validation is enabled when validate="on"	inlinevalidationonly="on"
serversidevalidationonly	Together with validate="on": set to "on" to disable inline (frontend) validation: only server-side (backend) validation is performed.	-	off: inline validation is enabled when validate="on"	serversidevalidationonly="on"
substitute	Set to "on" if you need to perform subsitution of field references (see Substitution of field references), but do not want/need to validate the form.	-	-	substitute="on" (and validate="off")
topic	Only if action is set to view, viewauth, edit, upload, create or save: the target topic of the action. Webname.TopicName syntax may be used.	-	the current topic	topic="%WEB%.WebHome"
web	Only if action is set to view, viewauth, edit, create or save: the target web of the action.	-	the current web	web="Main"
anchor	The anchor link the form should be linked to after successful submission. In case of an error, the default notification anchor link is used to directly point to possible problems (anchor #FormPluginNotification).	-		anchor="MyForm"
method	get or post (What's the difference?)	-	post	method="post"
redirectto	Redirect topic after form action has been performed.	-	-	redirectto="Main.WebHome"
formcssclass	The CSS class of the form container. Use CSS classes foswikiFormSteps and foswikiFormStep for elements to divide the form in steps.	-	-	formcssclass="foswikiFormSteps"
elementcssclass	The CSS class of the element container. Use CSS class foswikiFormStep class to divide the form in steps.	-	-	elementcssclass="foswikiFormStep"
onSubmit	Function call that is invoked when the user has pressed the submit button of a form. This event happens just before the form is submitted, and your function can return a value of false in order to abort the submission. Note that the function call should include (this).	-	-	onSubmit="return notify(this)"
sep	HTML element separator; defaults to \n (TML line feed), but can be set to " " or similar to allow FORM to be defined within a table	-	"\n"	sep=" "
showerrors	Position of the error feedback: above the form (default), below, or off (hide).	-	"above"	showerrors="off"
noredirect	By setting this to "on", FormPlugin will not redirect after submitting a form (after validation failure or success).	-	-	noredirect="on"
disabled	Set to "on" to disable all fields. Can be overridden with FORMELEMENT disabled="off".	-	-	disabled="on"

ENDFORM

Required to close the form. Does not have any parameters.

Retrieving form values

Use %URLPARAM{}% to display submitted form values. For example

   * Name = %URLPARAM{"MyName"}%
   * Names = %URLPARAM{"MyFriends" multiple="on" separator=", "}%

Formatting

Formatting of each form element can be set with the FORMELEMENT parameters:

• format - defines the display of:
  • title
  • field
  • hint
  • mandatory indicator
• elementformat - defines the display of the field / select item only
• titleformat - defines the display of the title only

Use the following tokens to define where form element parts are displayed:

• $e - form element token
• $t - title token
• $h - hint token
• $m - mandatory token, currently just an asterisk *
• $a - anchor token, where the anchor link should be placed (anchor links are used to link to fields with error feedback)

The escape tokens $quot ("), $percnt (%), $dollar ($), $n (newline) and $nop (<nop>) can be used to prevent expansion.

format

Attribute of FORMELEMENT, sets the format of the current field. Overrides the default format and the elementformat param set to STARTFORM.

The default format is defined in templates/formplugin.tmpl:

<div class="formPluginField"> $a $titleformat $e $m $h </div>

titleformat is substituted with the value of titleformat.

To switch the order around use for example:

format="<div class="formPluginField"> $m $t $h <br />$e </div>"

elementformat

Attribute of STARTFORM. Sets the default of each element format. The default elementformat is simply

$e

This means that radio buttons and checkboxes are all displayed on one line. To put these items on one line each, write:

elementformat="$e <br />"

titleformat

Attribute of FORMELEMENT. The default titleformat is

 $t <br />

To display the title in bold, write:

titleformat=" *$t* <br />"

Date Formats

Attribute of FORMELEMENT when type="date" is used. Possible format specifiers:

%a - abbreviated weekday name 
%A - full weekday name 
%b - abbreviated month name 
%B - full month name 
%C - century number 
%d - the day of the month ( 00 .. 31 ) 
%e - the day of the month ( 0 .. 31 ) 
%H - hour ( 00 .. 23 ) 
%I - hour ( 01 .. 12 ) 
%j - day of the year ( 000 .. 366 ) 
%k - hour ( 0 .. 23 ) 
%l - hour ( 1 .. 12 ) 
%m - month ( 01 .. 12 ) 
%M - minute ( 00 .. 59 ) 
%n - a newline character 
%p - "PM" or "AM"
%P - "pm" or "am"
%S - second ( 00 .. 59 ) 
%s - number of seconds since Epoch (since Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 UTC) 
%t - a tab character 
%U, %W, %V - the week number
   The week 01 is the week that has the Thursday in the current year,
   which is equivalent to the week that contains the fourth day of January. 
   Weeks start on Monday.
%u - the day of the week ( 1 .. 7, 1 = MON ) 
%w - the day of the week ( 0 .. 6, 0 = SUN ) 
%y - year without the century ( 00 .. 99 ) 
%Y - year including the century ( ex. 1979 ) 
%% - a literal % character 

For example, to get the date formatted as "2009-01-31", specify: dateformat="%Y-%m-%d".

Form processing

A FormPlugin form is first processed before it is sent to its action target. Processing is done in 2 steps:

1. Validation
2. Substitution of field references

Substitution of field references

Value substitution changes field values so that the string $To is substituted with the value of field To. This way you can use field names as variables.

An example form that uses substitution:

%STARTFORM{
   name="mail"
   action="view"
   topic="%WEB%.%TOPIC%"
   validate="off"
   substitute="on"
}%%FORMELEMENT{
   type="text"
   name="To"
}%%FORMELEMENT{
   type="hidden"
   name="Subject"
   value="email to $To"
   mandatory="on"
}%%FORMELEMENT{
   type="submit"
   name="submit"
   buttonlabel="Submit"
}%%ENDFORM%

Subject is: %URLPARAM{"Subject"}%

When validate="on" (the default), substitution takes place automatically.

Conditional values

FORMELEMENT parameter condition allows to set a value only if the validation condition is met. The value is empty if the condition is not met.

Syntax: $field name=validation method

The validation method uses the same syntax as form validation.

Assuming a field with name Name exists, field Subject will have the value of Name plus a bullet if the value of Name is a number:

%FORMELEMENT{
   name="Subject"
   type="hidden"
   value="   * $Name"
   condition="$Name=number"
}%

Form validation

Form validation is done using inline validation and server-side validation, by default both methods are used.

Options for STARTFORM:

• inlinevalidationonly="on" - only use inline validation
• serversidevalidationonly="on" - only use server-side validation
• validate="off" - turn off all validation

Inline validation adds Javascript to the page (it requires JQueryPlugin's validate plugin).

Server-side validation uses the same methods and notation as JQueryPlugin's validate, plus a couple of shortcut notations (including support for validation notation prior to version 2.0 of FormPlugin).

The benefit of the more elaborate JSON notation is that multiple validation methods can be used, each with its own feedback message.

JSON notation:

validate="{
   rules: {
      required : true
   },
   messages: {
      required : 'You must enter a value'
   }
}"

Notes:

• JSON notation accepts method names without quotes
• Use single quotes for strings, or use escaped double quotes
• The value true must not be quoted
• Use {n} tokens to write the prerequisite values to the string, see next example
• If no messages are specified, default messages are written

Elaborate JSON notation:

validate="{
   rules: {
      required : true,
      minlength : 2
   },
   messages: {
      required : 'We need your email address to contact you',
      minlength : 'At least {0} characters required!'
   }
}"

Supported methods

• required
• minlength: n
• maxlength: n
• equalto: field name
• rangelength: n
• min: n
• max: n
• range: n1,n2
• email
• multiemail - multiple email addresses, separated by a space, comma or semi-colon
• url
• number
• digits
• creditcard
• accept: string1,string2,string3
• int
• float
• string
• wikiword

Shortcut notation:

• validate="required" - must have a value
• validate="number" - must have a value and must be a number
• validate="email" - must have a valid email address (checks syntax only)
• validate="multiemail" - same as email but for multiple addresses, separated by comma, semi-colon or space

Former but still supported notation:

• validate="nonempty" - single entry elements: must have a value; multi-select elements: must have a selection
• validate="string" - same as nonempty
• validate="int" - must have a value and must be a rounded number
• validate="float" - must have a value and must be a number
• validate="email" - must have a value and must be in e-mail format

If a validation error occurs, the form is displayed with error feedback.

Installation

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. Use "Find More Extensions" to get a list of available extensions. Select "Install".

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in configure, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See http://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.

Plugin Info

Copyright:	© 2007-2011 Arthur Clemens, Sven Dowideit, Eugen Mayer
Version:	14547 (2012-04-03)
Release:	2.4.0
Change History:
03 Apr 2012	2.4.0 Florian Schlichting Fix a bunch of issues when running under mod_perl (Foswikitask:Item11690). Allow field token substitution in topic, web and restAction variables ((Foswikitask:Item11719).
21 Dec 2011	2.3.0 Allow multiple email addresses in email field (use multiemail). Foswikitask:Item11295 Fixed issues with fastcgi (thanks Jayen Ashar). Fixed client side validation check on fields named 'submit' on IE7+IE8. Fixed client side validation on email fields that contain spaces before or after. Added a hint to Firefox users that they need to confirm the form submission.
02 Nov 2011	2.2.3 Made compatible with {JQueryPlugin}{NoConflict}.
26 Oct 2011	2.2.2 Foswikitask:Item11179 Implemented solution provided by George Clark.
24 Aug 2011	2.2.1 Use different default name for submit field that does not have a name set.
14 Aug 2011	2.2.0 Rewrote form validation/substitution flow to iron out bugs when working with other extensions. Added STARTFORM option strictverification. By default this is set to "on", meaning that HTML input fields are ignored and thrown out of the form request. Either set the parameter to "off" or use FORMELEMENT. Fixed a bug where substituted values where not passed in a REST call. Rewrote HolidayListPlugin example.
05 Aug 2011	2.1.1 Fixed onChange for select/dropdown elements. Allow select and dropdown lists to start with an empty value.
21 Jul 2011	2.1.0 Added support for spellcheck="false".
15 Jul 2011	2.0.5 Fixed styling of buttons with cssclass option.
23 Jun 2011	2.0.4 Display an error instead of crashing when field name is missing.
07 Jun 2011	2.0.3 Fixed saving CommentPlugin forms (unfortunately, Firefox users will see a confirmation dialogue). Setting disabled is now properly parsed for other values than "on".
31 May 2011	2.0.2 Added dependency List::MoreUtils.
12 May 2011	2.0.1 Replaced getRequestObject with getCgiQuery to be compatible with older Foswiki installations.
30 Apr 2011	2.0 Complete code rewrite into modular files. Added inline validation with the additional options to only have inline validation or server-side validation. Inline validation settings will generate jQuery validation Javascript code. In case the client does not have Javascript, server-side validation will take place using the same checks as jQuery validation, which includes many more options than the previous validation code. tabindex is now automatically inserted based on the order of the form fields. Deprecated beforeclick for placeholder Requires JQueryPlugin 4.04.. No longer implemented: FORMSTATUS and FORMERROR. Many bugs fixed.
02 Jun 2010	1.6.3 Fixed field reference substitution for SendEmailPlugin.
31 May 2010	1.6.2 Fixed field reference substitution when saving a topic; improved CSS in error messages.
26 May 2010	1.6.1 Replaced getRequestObject with getCgiQuery to be compatible with Foswiki 1.0.9.
26 May 2010	1.6 Arthur Clemens: Bug fixes: • Fixed pre-selecting multiple items in multi-select form elements. • All Foswiki scripts are now allowed in action. • Fixed redirecting a topic and passing data in GET instead of POST. More: Complete unit testing. Messages are now set in template formplugin.tmpl, making them easier to change. Improved documentation.
24 Aug 2009	1.5 Arthur Clemens: Bug fixes: • Fixed checked value of radio button - sometimes did not get checked • Fixed bug 0 value ignored • Improved formatting for forms inside tables New features: • In line of Foswiki security policy, make POST the default submit method • Added support for REST calls: set the action to rest and set restaction • Added format parameter $a to set the location of the form element anchor link, useful for table layouts • Changed param allowredirects to noredirect • Pure text format textonly, no input element • Added warning if required data is not passed for STARTFORM or FORMELEMENT.
16 Mar 2009	1.4.6 Eugen Mayer: Added new option for STARTFORM, which allows to control the redirects ( allowredirects ).
29 Jan 2009	1.4.5 Moved javascript and css includes to template files to allow other js libs to be used.
