tiddlywebplugins.form Description

Adds POST and binary file upload (via HTML) support to TiddlyWeb tiddlywebplugins.form provides a serializer to transform HTML form-data into an object that can be put into the store.Also adds POST support to the standard set of URLs and support for uploading binary files.URLs with POST support are: /bags/foo/tiddlers /recipes/foo/tiddlersTo use, add tiddlywebplugins.form to your system_plugins in tiddlywebconfig.py.You can then POST tiddlers to the server as follows: 1. set up an HTML form with any named elements. Supported names include: title - tiddler.title (this is optional and, depends upon which URL you POST to. Additionally, if you POST to /bags/foo/tiddlers without a title, you will get a UUID title instead). text - tiddler.text tags - tiddler.tags (this can be a list (eg checkboxes), or a string formatted as per standard TiddlyWiki tags). created - tiddler.created modified - tiddler.modified file - this is a special case and represents a binary file so must take the form of an HTML tag. If this is specified, you may include tags and a title, but anything else will be ignored. 2. Content type (enctype attribute in HTML form lingo) of the form must be either appilcation/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data (if uploading a binary file) 3. POST the form (ie - set the method to POST) to one of the above URLs (ie - set the action attribute), replacing foo as required. 4. Optionally specificy a redirect to redirect to a different page.Example Usage:say you want to POST a new tiddler to the bag "common", you might include the following HTML:< form action="/bags/common/tiddlers" method="POST" > < input type="text" name="title" value="New Tiddler" / > < textarea name="text" rows="5" cols="40" >< /textarea > < input type="text" name="tags" / > < input type="submit" value="Save" / > < /form >Alternatively, you may want to upload a binary file to the bag "common":< form action="/bags/common/tiddlers" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" > < input type="file" name="file" / > < input type="submit" value="Upload" / > < /form >There is also a Binary Upload Plugin for TiddlyWiki designed specifically to work with tiddlyweplugins.form.
