Allowed Values package

A set of forms and templates intended to be used on Properties pages to ease the process of defining list of values allows and a couple of other settings for a Property.

Pages

• Property:Allows value - redefines the built-in SMW Allow value property
• Template:FormField - provides a {{FormField}} template for PageForms
• Template:Get default value - retrieves default value from selected Property
• Template:Get values - retrives list of allowed values for a Property
• Template:Only existing - helper template for a {{field}}
• Form:Property - main form to edit Property pages
• Template:Property - template for Property pages
• Property:Suggests value - property for suggestions
• Property:Value - base property for Allows value and Suggests value

Examples

• Form:TestPeropertyFormUsage - example form
• Property:TestProp1 - example property

Usage

• Create new property using Special:FormEdit/Property
• Use FormField template to link properties to PageForms form like below:

{{FormField|FieldName|PropertyName|<nowiki>|input type=tokens</nowiki>}}

This will link all the allowed, suggested values automatically, same as the default value for a property.
