How to access a form, from a specific theme please?
Hi,
I have multiple themes, I want to access a specific form, from a specific theme without having different names for the forms, how can this be done please?
My main use for this is for the rah_external_output plugin.
Example url: https://example.com/?rah_external_output=example
Can it be something like this?
https://example.com/my-theme-name1/?rah_external_output=example
https://example.com/my-theme-name2/?rah_external_output=example
Also, how to access a form, from a different theme using <txp:output_form /> or using PHP please?

BTW: is there a new replacement for the rah_external_output plugin nowadays please?
maybe something in the core of the new TXP?

It is indeed in house now.
Go to Preferences>Admin>Advanced options and enable it.
Now there should be a new Advanced options link on the left menu. Click on it,and you will see three fields. This is how I populated them.
PHP functions enabled in txp:evaluate: md5, replace:preg_replace

You can access the outputs similarly to how the rah_external_output plugin did. domain.tld/?f=form_name.

In addition to what Yiannis said, if you want to get the theme name that is in force at any point, you can use the page_url tag:
<page::url type="theme" />The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Typically, themes are associated with sections, so this could be
https://example.com/section-of-theme-name1/?rah_external_output=example
https://example.com/section-of-theme-name2/?rah_external_output=exampleUntested with rah_external_output plugin, but this should work with core custom forms, once you set them up.
Also, how to access a form, from a different theme using
<txp:output_form />or using PHP please?
At some moment it was decided that crossing a section (and thus theme) boundary would be a privacy/security risk, so you need php privs here:
<txp:php>
<!-- fetch a form without parsing -->
$form = fetch_form('my-form', 'my-theme');
<!-- or parse and output it -->
echo parse_form('my-form', 'my-theme');
</txp:php>Offline
