Synopsis
Common behaviour and list of (error) messages that might occur
Description
Tag extensions, like FlexForm, cannot hold any html in its arguments.
<_input type="text" value="hello<br>how are you" />
The above example will simply not be rendered. This is how MediaWiki tags work. You can use the following syntax, it at least will not break. It is another way of writing tag code.
{{#tag:_input||type=text|value=hello<br>how are you}}
The HTML will be filtered out.
Here's a list of common error messages that might occur, with a brief description of what the problem might be.
| Message | Type | Why | Possible solutions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Can not find template | _email | shown when the page mentioned in the template cannot be read or parse by the API | check page name if it exists or not miss-spelled | |
| not a secure form | _form | shown when the sec option is set to true and the form has been manipulated after form submit | ||
| Secure fields not complete | _form | shown when the sec option is set to true and files with type is secure (not to be manipulated with) are incomplete after a form submit | ||
| Did not receive a session token from the form | _form | shown when a secure token that is generated by FlexForm did not come with a form submit | ||
| Form session expired | _form | shown when the time between a form render and the actual submit has taken to long | Change the config option form-timeout-limit to a higher number in seconds ( default 7200 secs = 120 mins = 2 hours ) | |
| No return found | _form | shown when a form has been submitted but FlexForm cannot find a page to return to after handling the form | ||
