PmForm

This group is used to document the Cookbook:PmForm recipe.

There are several steps for PmForm to work.

1. Download pmform.zip and extract it to your PmWiki directory on your server Note: You need to put pmforms.php direct into your cookbook/ directory, and Site.PmFormTemplates into your wikilib.d directory.
2. Modify your local/config.php or other local customization file, enabling PmForm
   include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/pmform.php");
3. Create wiki page called Site.LocalTemplates if it doesn't exist already
4. Modify Site.LocalTemplates, editing the form code creating the form and the mail output
5. Inserting the referenced form name into any wiki page (you'll create and name your forms in Site.LocalTemplates)
