Auto Form variables?

[arek]

Anyone have an example of how these work, exactly? I'm working on converting a news ticker I found to a plugin, and I want to use an auto form to hold the news items, but I haven't figured out how to access the individual items in the auto form variable (I tried accessing the variable as an array, which the original script expects, but that doesn't seem to work). Any help would be appreciated here.

There is already a news ticker by default. But you do it. Just do this.

{foreach $[autoformname]}

$[autoformvariable]

{/foreach}

Thanks for the info.

As for the built-in ticker, well, have a look at this post and the post linked from it. It seems I'm not the only person who doesn't like it.

Ahh. Okay. Well good luck then.

The syntax is actually:

{foreach $[autoform_name]}
$[autoform_name.autoform_variable]
{/foreach}

This autoform, is this a way to format the thread fields? I made a plugin with autoform but where will it show up?

What do you mean "format the thread fields"?

You can access the autoform variables on the Components tab. They should be listed on the right side.
