  So I have decided to use pnForm for a new module I am creating and have looked at the documentation. However, I am stuck at square one. I have made a simple template, just to start playing with pnForm. Here is the code in the template.
  

  Code

  <!--[*  $Id: Micro551Feedback_user_main.htm 11499 2003-09-25 12:42:23Z jorg $  *]-->
  <!--[include file="Micro551Feedback_user_menu.htm"]-->
  <hr />
  
  <h3><!--[pnml name="MICRO5551FEEDBACK_INTROTITLE"]--></h3>
  <p><!--[pnml name="MICRO551FEEDBACK_INTRO"]--></p>
  <!--[pnform]-->
   
  <!--[/pnform]-->

  
  When I try to load this page I get a Smarty error. I am reproducing the essential part of the message below.
  
  

  Code

  An unknown error has occured. The following error message was returned by the system
  
  Smarty error: [in Micro551Feedback_user_main.htm line 7]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'pnform' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 599) (in file /Library/WebServer/Documents/microtextbook/includes/classes/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092)
  
  Back
  
  Additional technical information
  
  (array) 0:
  (string) file = /Library/WebServer/Documents/microtextbook/includes/classes/Smarty/Smarty.class.php
  (integer) line = 1092
  (string) function = trigger_error
  (array) args:
  (string) 0 = Smarty error: [in Micro551Feedback_user_main.htm line 7]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'pnform' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 599)
  (integer) 1 = 256

  
  
  Is there something I need to do to make pnForms work? The module is installed and working as far as I can tell. Any help appreciated.

  Did you initialized pnForm as its shown in documentation?
  This should look like this:
  

  Code

  function demo_user_edit($args)
    {
      $render = FormUtil::newpnForm('demo');
      return $render->pnFormExecute('demo_user_edit.html', new demo_user_editHandler());
    }

  
  
  If you called template using just pnRender class - pnForms framework wont be loaded.

  Ah, so that is it. I was just noodling around with the template. So if I want to use pnForms, instead of creating a pnRender object, I create the object using FormUtil::newpnForm();
  I think I have it, thanks.
  
  BTW, the documentation is a bit obtuse about this. There is no explicit warning about initialization.

  Paustian - be careful - you not only need to initialize pnForm framework, but also create and pass to pnForm handler class as shown in this tutorial:

  I saw that in the tutorial page and have been able to get it working. pnForms again, saves a bunch of coding, nicely done. Another little glitch that others might run into has to deal with the Smarty template you create. If you want to add Smarty variables to a calls to a pnForm plugin, don't put it in quotes. Any hand coded stuff should be in quotes. For example.
  
  
  

  Code

  <td><!--[pnformtextinput id=$names[i].id text=$names[i].name maxLength="60"]--></td>
