FormTemplateProcessor posting to parent

[Manaus]

Hello,

I'm trying to hack some code for the FormTemplateProcessor module.

I have this page structure:

posts

  post 01

  post 02

  post 03

  post 04

  new post

I'd like to add the new post as a sibling of 'new' but I get the page always as its child. This is the code I'm using:

$form = $modules->get('FormTemplateProcessor');
$form->template = $templates->get('contact-form'); // required
$form->requiredFields = array('title', 'body');
$form->email = 'my@email.com'; // optional, sends form as email
$form->parent = $page; // optional, saves form as page
echo $form->render(); // draw form or process submitted form

Thanks for any suggestion!

I think you can probably replace:

$form->parent = $page;

with:

$form->parent = $page->parent;

I'm not sure what you are doing, but maybe it will work if you change $form->parent = $page; to $form->parent = $page->parent;

edit: adrian was faster

It works very well!! 

I see the new pages are unpublished by default, is this tweakable?..

Thanks!

$form->addStatus(Page::statusUnpublished);

Thanks adrian,

I'm seeing this though:

"Error: Exception: Method FormTemplateProcessor::addStatus does not exist or is not callable in this context"

[diogo]

Wouldn't it be $form->removeStatus(Page::statusUnpublished); instead?

[Manaus]

Looks like removeStatus does not exist either..

diogo - thanks for spotting that - I misread what he wanted and forgot that unpublished is the default.

As for the error - not really sure why that isn't working.

Not really advisable, but you could hack the module code:
