@neilw - perfect - thanks!

@gouwzee I still do work on our internal Mindtouch Core installation, but certainly less development of public stuff out here. I still monitor the forums and my pages and whatnot. Handling multiline textboxes should be easy, datepickers a bit more work. PM me to discuss.

@neilw Great, thanks for answering! What got me thinking is that the templates updatestore and viewstore were moved under the template:obsolete (http://developer.mindtouch.com/Template:Obsolete). I like page properties since they enable easy parameterization of data. This form example helped me to create forms inside my deki website. I am only slowly learning javascript and dekiscript features such as publish/subscribe and by tweaking your examples I got some neat stuff working. I really wonder what did your focus shift to? Mindtouch TCS? Something else altogether? I see so little activity nowadays on the developer website.. I would also like to extent this form to support Multiline textbox and datepicker. Might you be interested to help out? :-)

@dadeo Whoops, my bad. There are two versions of the cycle plugin: the simple one only does "fade". If you call the template with "fade" selected as the effect, then it loads the simple version of the plugin and then fade is all you get. That is what was happening on this page. I changed the default effect on this page to "scrollDown", and now it works as expected. So: if you want to have multiple selectable effects, don't call the template with "fade"!

@gouwzee Did I deprecate it? I can't remember, it's been a looooong time since I looked at this particular page. I would say that if you have something that works, then go for it. Can you point me to where I deprecated it? I can't find anything here, although I do vaguely recall something about that.

@neilw I have been working with the templates in my own wiki and created an alternative to UpdateStore: UpdateMap, which omits the array and simply overwrites the map. I wanted to post it as a template. Now I find by suprise that you deprecated the UpdateStore template used in your form above. What superseded it?

@neilw I have been working with the templates in my own wiki and created an alternative to UpdateList: UpdateMap, which omits the array and simply overwrites the map.

@neilw - only fade effect works? Even in the above example if I select another effect I still get fade. And captions only display for me at the top, even when I use caption:true

@varosi That certainly is possible, but I must say honestly it's more work than I could justify right now. It's not too hard to add descriptions to attachments using Mindtouch's existing UI. This would be a bit nicer, but not a huge value (at least, not to me), and not enough to make it onto my "todo" list for the moment. I would of course invite anyone else to add this functionality! :)
