I must be doing something wrong, but for the life of me can’t figure out what.
I followed the tutorial in the documentation with the exception that I renamed the TV and chunk, but I don’t get a publishing form showing up on my page. Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on? I’m using Friendly URLs on most of the site. Not on these pages though.
I created a TV called postnewsContent and made it visible to all document groups, just to be safe.
I created a chunk called postnewsForm which has the following code:
<div id="postnewsForm">
<form name="NewsPublisher" method="post" action="[~[*id*]~]">
<fieldset>
<h3>Publishing Details</h3>
<p>Note: Leaving the Publish Date empty will immediately publish your blog entry.</p>
<input name="postnewsForm" type="hidden" value="on" />
<label for="pagetitle">Page title <abbr title="The title used on the browser window">?</abbr>: <input name="pagetitle" id="pagetitle" type="text" size="40" value="[+pagetitle+]" /></label>
<label for="longtitle">Headline <abbr title="The title used on the article">?</abbr>: <input name="longtitle" id="longtitle" type="text" size="40" value="[+longtitle+]" /></label>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<h3>The Content</h3>
<p>The Summary field is optional, but is used as a short version for RSS feeds and summary views on the main blog page.</p>
<label for="introtext">Summary (optional, but encouraged):<textarea name="introtext" cols="50" rows="5">[+introtext+]</textarea></label>
<label for="content">Content:[*postnewsContent*]</label>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<h3>You're Done</h3>
<input name="send" type="submit" value="Post Request" class="button" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
I have a publish page named "Post News" with ID 77 in which I pasted the following into the main content field.
[!NewsPublisher? &folder=`37` &canpost=`registered, volunteer, employee` &makefolder=`1` &formtpl=`postnewsForm` &rtcontent=`tvpostnewsContent`!]
If it’s not obvious what’s happening, you’ll have to register to actually see the Post News link in the menu.
