Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: ad_form skips on_submit and after_submit code

Posted by David Siktberg on
Re Dave's comment on proper usage, I would love to learn how to use ad_form, but the documentation I have found seems light on examples, the ad_form code seemed a bit dense to read and understand on its own, and therefore a long sit-down and read-thru and pondering seemed called for, and I have never found the time to do that. Could someone be generous enough to post a good example or two showing some significant functionality in a page that obtains and processes input? That will be a fast way to learn, and I would be very, very grateful. Or if there is documentation with examples somewhere that would also be great to learn about. Thanks!!

Hi David,

There are loads of examples in the code itself - just grep ad_form.

Here is also a good reference:

And the OpenACS Tutorial:

Cheers.
