Item7141: Control over where to add the form tag in comment PROMPT template

This can be turned of with %COMMENT{ noform="on" }%. However, the hidden input fields are still added to the end. This makes it impossible to define a comment PROMPT template with two forms.

I have a need to add two forms to a PROMPT template:

1. Comment form (using CommentPlugin)
2. Notify authors form (using NotifyAuthorsPlugin)

This small enhancement makes it possible to add two or more HTML forms:

The new %COMMENTFORMSTART% and %COMMENTFORMEND% gives one control over where form tags and hidden input templates are added:

• %COMMENTFORMSTART% - HTML form start tag
• %COMMENTFORMEND% - hidden input fields and HTML form end tag

If either of these two variables are present in a comment PROMPT template, the form tag is not added automatically.

Example:

%TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:demo}%
<!-- comment form start tag: -->
%COMMENTFORMSTART%
<textarea %DISABLED% rows="%rows|5%" cols="%cols|80%" name="comment" class="twikiTextarea"></textarea>
<div>
<input %DISABLED% type="submit" value="%button|Add comment%" class="twikiButton" />
</div>
<!-- hidden input fields and end form tag: -->
%COMMENTFORMEND%
<!-- second form with notify authors button: -->
%NOTIFYAUTHORS%
%TMPL:END%
