New User Question: Creating a form

I just installed MoinMoin and have been playing with it for about a week.  
Installation on both Windows and Linux went quite smoothly (other than the 
occasional operator error).  I've worked through various tutorials and other 
documentation so I'm able to create edit pages, create macros, etc.  
Everything is so simple!  (But then you knew that).

One thing I haven't been able to figure out so far is how to create a form on 
a user page and then have the results of the POST action be displayed on a 
Wiki page - or even if this is in the proper WikiWiki spirit.  

Any pointers to this?

Thanks,
Russell.

See http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ParserMarket/NoCamelCase (and the
ParserMarket page for the actual parser).

Oops, sorry, I forgot the easy way to make single words not become links
(the nocamelcase parser will disable them altogether for a page).

If you set bang_meta = true in the config file, you can just use
!UseCase to suppress UseCase being a link.

The third method is to use U``seCase (or, the way I generally like to
mark it, Use``Case).

Re: U''''''seCase becomes not a link, but is there an easier way

Actually, I read that already....I still want camelcase to work.  I just
want an easier escape sequence.  It would just be nice to do something like
~UseCase once in a while to tell MoinMoin not to use this as a link.  I
think phpWiki does that.
oh well,
thanks,
dean

Re: U''''''seCase becomes not a link, but is there an easier way

This didn't seem to work...I got an error like I can't add a property to the
config file(ie. my config file does not have a bang_meta option).  I am
using the latest moinmoin version.

ps. I should have read my messages in order, this is exactly what I want,
but can't seem to get it to work.
thanks,
dean

Python is sensitive to indentation in the config file. The config file
should look something like this:

[...]

class Config(DefaultConfig):

    # Wiki identity ----------------------------------------------------

    # Site name, used by default for wiki name-logo [Unicode]
    sitename = u'(wiki site name here)'

    # Wiki logo. You can use an image, text or both. [Unicode]
    # Example: u'<img src="/wiki/mywiki.png" alt="My Wiki">My Wiki'
    # For no logo or text, use ''
    logo_string = sitename

[...]

You should follow the example there and indent the bang_meta setting:

    bang_meta = 1

(I just checked HelpOnConfiguration and it states the default value is
0, so 1 should enable the !NoWikiName markup; one of the experts will be
able to tell you if the value "true" should also work.)

IIRC this is by design in Firefox - accessing local content (file://) from
what is assumed to be a remote url is considered insecure and is blocked by
the default settings.

There's probably a way to enable it for trusted locations if you poke
around.

Stop!

Do not put your wiki in your public_html directory! Please read (again?)
this page:
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnInstalling/WikiInstanceCreation

Read carfully the "Security warnings" in the bold red type with the
warning icons.

Now put your wiki in /home/dean/wiki/ - the web server should not server
anything from this directory, only moin.cgi.

About url_prefix - set it to '/~dean/wiki', and in your apache
configuration file, set an alias:

    Alias /~dean/wiki/ /home/dean/share/moin/htdocs/

Let me explain how this work: All the static files in moin, like images
and css files are served by the web server, not by moin. How the web
server know what to serve? If you will look in to the source of the html
page, you can see that every image or css url starts with the '/wiki',
e.g /~dean/wiki/modern/img/moin-foo.png. The alias you set before
redirect such link
to /home/dean/share/moin/htdocs/wiki/modern/img/moin-foo.png, which is
served by Apache much faster then moin can.
