Synopsis

Various FlexForm options

Description

Parameters you can add to the _form tag.

Parameters

formtarget

Change the html post action to a custom one

In some rare cases you might want to create a FlexForm, but not have FlexForm handle the post data. In that case use formtarget="your url here" to tell html form where to go when someone submits the data.

See example 1

Note: Keep in mind that this option will completely ignore FlexForm on form submission. No pages will be created or edited.

messageonsuccess

Show a custom message when form is successfully posted

It's sometimes handy to show a custom message when a form has been successfully posted, especially when after a post you return to the same form page.

See example 2

no_submit_on_return

Disable enter key for submitting a form

A HTML form usually gets submitted on pressing enter when there's like one text field. To disable that use the no_submit_on_return option. This will add some JavaScript to the form disabling form submission on typing an enter.

See example 3

recaptcha-v3-action

Use reCaptcha Version 3 on a flexform

Have FlexForm use Google reCAPTCHA v3 to prevent spamming in a form.

You need to add you recaptcha key and secret in the configuration.

$wgFlexFormConfig['rc_site_key']   = ""; // reCaptcha site key
$wgFlexFormConfig['rc_secret_key'] = ""; // reCaptcha secret key

The you can use

recaptcha-v3-action="action name"

Where action name is the name of the action to describe the form. It's an extra security measurement. You can choose your own name e.g. : contactform

See example 4

Note: reCAPTCHA v3 will not work when submitting the form through AJAX (mwidentifier="ajax")

setwikicomment

Set the summary text shown in the recent changes and or contributions

This can be really handy to describe what form or action was responsible for the changes in the Wiki.

<_form action="addToWiki" setwikicomment="Edit user preference form" >
   Your flexform elements here
</_form>

Example 1 : formtarget

<_form action="addToWiki" formtarget="https://example.com/handleform.php" >
