[the html designer probably cut them out...not a good idea having the same form.txt for the add and modify]
Actually, that was the purpose of form.txt, to be used in the add and modify areas, and across all the forms. You _can_ change them, but most often, fields used in the add form are the same ones a user can modify on the modify form -- think about it :)
Add your "extra" fields in the template, or, go ahead and make a new add_form.txt and mod_form.txt, tetc. Not a bad idea, and once you start using <%loop%> <G> the forms keep multiplying :)
You can also do things such as make one form.txt, that can handle whether it's an add or a modify, and which knows if a form is allowed to be changed, or not, or more. <%if%> tags are very useful for this.
For instance, in an add form, there would be no "hits" or "rating", so if you used:
Code:
<%if Hits%>
<t r> <T d> Hits: </ t d >
<T d><%Hits%> </ t d >
</ t r>
<%endif%>
That row will only show in the modify form.
Make sense? You can also use complicated <%if%> nestings to add parameters to img tags and input fields, and more.
