I have a form that reads the current template call of a page and populates itself. When I change something and click "preview" or "show changes" I get:
"Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 0 in /home/ccmdb/ccmdb.kuality.ca/extensions/PageForms/includes/PF_FormPrinter.php on line 1457"
Also, the show changes (or save) end up an empty page.
Here is the form definition:
<noinclude>
This is the 'Data Element' partial form.
{{#forminput:form=Data element}}
</noinclude><includeonly>
{{{info|partial form|edit title=Add or change data element information|create title=create some data element documentation}}}
{{{for template|Data element|label=edit the data element information|multiple}}}
'''Field name:'''
{{{field|field_name}}}
{{{end template}}}
{{{standard input|summary}}}
{{{standard input|minor edit}}} {{{standard input|watch}}}
{{{standard input|save}}} {{{standard input|preview}}} {{{standard input|changes}}} {{{standard input|cancel}}}
</includeonly>The error happens if I press "show preview"
Template Data Element is as follows. I initially had all the fields of it in the form but took all but one out as part of troubleshooting:
{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="float:right; width:30%"
|-

|[[FieldName::{{{field_name|not stated}}}]]

|}
{{{element_description}}} [[elementDescription::{{{element_description}}}| ]]
<includeonly>[[Category: Data structure]][[Category:{{{in_table}}}]]</includeonly>
<noinclude>
To use:
{<nowiki>{</nowiki>Data_element
| field_name =
| element_description =
| in_table = (L_Log table /
| data_type =
| datafield_length =
| program_collecting = (CC / Med / Med and CC)
| created_raw = (created / raw)
| data_element_start_date = (date)
| data_element_end_date = (date)
| data_element_sort_index = (row number in table)
<nowiki>}</nowiki>}
</noinclude>The FieldName Property is defined as
This is a property of type [[Has type::String]].
I have to assume that this has been fixed at some point, since I haven't heard about this problem in the last six years or so. But of course, feel free to re-open if not.
I just checked this form and it no longer gives the error, so you are right, fixed. Thanks!
