Convenience function for generating a form from a view in a standard location. This function assumes that the body of the form is located at "forms/$action" and sets the action by default to "action/$action". Automatically wraps the forms/$action view with a <form> tag and inserts the anti-csrf security tokens.
This automatically appends elgg-form-action-name to the form's class. It replaces any slashes with dashes (blog/save becomes elgg-form-blog-save)
echo elgg_view_form('login');
This would assume a "login" form body to be at "forms/login" and would set the action of the form to "http://yoursite.com/action/login".
If elgg_view('forms/login') is: <input type="text" name="username"> <input type="password" name="password">
Then elgg_view_form('login') generates: <form action="http://yoursite.com/action/login" method="post"> ...security tokens... <input type="text" name="username"> <input type="password" name="password"> </form>
| string | $action The name of the action. An action name does not include the leading "action/". For example, "login" is an action name. | |
| array | $form_vars $vars environment passed to the "input/form" view | |
| array | $body_vars $vars environment passed to the "forms/$action" view |
