    20 This plugin aims to allow for forms anywhere there is a field with Trac wiki syntax.  This is meant to supersede the previously limited-scope ChecklistPlugin.

     19WikiFormsPlugin aims at providing even more flexibility with a sightly more complex wiki markup incompatible to that of !TracFormsPlugin.
     20Additional features from this plugin have been requested here too (see #8715).

    3839Let's start by looking at a simple laundry list.  This list will be automatically bound to whatever page it appears in by default (this can be configured).  Once the plugin is installed, simply edit a new wiki resource called  Sandbox/LaundryList and chuck this in:

    109 === Using TracFormsPlugin with MySQL ===
    110 
    111 See ticket #3290 for a drop-in replacement for formdb.py that should work with either versions prior to 0.2.1 (where it will be more transparent).  Once you have formdb.py, do something like the following depending on what exactly you downloaded:
    112 
    113 {{{
    114 #!sh
    115 cp /tmp/formdb.py tracforms/
    116 }}}
    117 
    118 Replace /tmp/formdb.py with the path to wherever you download the formdb.py script to.
    119 
    120 Now you can proceed to installation.  I'm going to try to have this worked out by 0.2.1 so that it'll work both ways (and set up to eventually also work in postgreSQL, etc).

    122 Thanks to the donator of this code (in #3290) for your help with the project!

    124110=== Method 1: Lay an egg ===
