Question

Is there a way to bypass the 'Edit' of a new topic and just go straight to viewing the newly created topic?

I have a web-form that I am using to create topics from a chosen template. The template contains all that is required to create the topics which have an EditTable in them to edit the actual values in a table.

Having to put a note about "Click 'Save' when the 'Edit' screen appears" below the "Create" button just seems a bit Mickey-mouse (no offense to Disney fans).

Answer

It is quite easy actually:

• Use a save action in your form, for instance:
  

  <form name="newtopic" id="newtopic" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{save}%/%BASEWEB%/" method="post">
  

• Make sure all mandatory fields are prefilled. If I have a mandatory field "Author", add a hidden field:
  

  <input type="hidden" name="Author" value="%WIKIUSERNAME%" />
