TWiki, hints and tricks

Developing plugins

Set metainfo "TOPICPARENT"

my ( $meta, $text ) = &TWiki::Func::readTopic( 'TWiki', 'TemplateExample' );
&TWiki::Func::writeDebug( "meta: " . $meta->getParent() ); # output "meta: " (not parent set)
$meta->put( 'TOPICPARENT', { 'name' => "Example" } );
&TWiki::Func::writeDebug( "meta: " . $meta->getParent() ); # output "meta: Example"
...
try {
        $store->saveTopic( $session->{user}, $webName, $wikiName, $text, $meta, { } );
} catch Error::Simple with {
        throw TWiki::OopsException(
            'attention',
            def    => 'save_error',
            web    => $web,
            topic  => $topic,
            params => [ shift->{-text} ] );
};
