FreeLists / dokuwiki / [dokuwiki] HTML FORM OUTPUT/INJECTION

[Myron Turner <turnermm02@xxxxxxx>]

I am testing a plugin using the recent rc, which replaces 
HTML_EDITFORM_INJECTION with HTML_EDITFORM_OUTPUT.  Under the old system 
it was an easy matter to insert a form element inside the DokuWiki 
Save/Edit form.  With HTML_EDITFORM_OUTPUT, the same element that in the 
old system appeared inside the form now appears either above or below 
the form, depending on whether the trigger advisory is BEFORE or  
AFTER.  There seems to be no straight-forward way to accomplish this 
task.  There are to other devonly events listed on the events list page 
that seem promising, HTML_DRAFTFORM_OUTPUT and 
HTML_CONFLICTFORM_OUTPUT.  But grep-ing the inc directory suggests that  
these haven't been implemented in the current release.
I've looked at inc/form.php, as suggested on the DW events list page.  
This gives a rudimentary description of how to create a new Form object 
but doesn't indicate how to modify an existing form object.   While PHP 
doesn't have its own array insert function, inserts can be done, so it 
would be possible to insert a new form element into the _content array 
of the form object .  But that doesn't seem to be a nice clean solution 
to the problem, at least on the developer' side. 

Also, for developers who have created their own forms in their plugins, 
the new security token check will break these plugins.  As far as I can 
determine, it's necessary only to insert the following into the form:
  if(function_exists('formSecurityToken')) {
          formSecurityToken(); 
     }
It doesn't appear to be necessary for the plugin itself to check for the 
token.  Is that correct?
