Question

My company upgraded to TWiiki 4 in January and installed TreeBrowserPlugin a week or so ago. I have been doing a lot of re-arranging of our site tree since then.

Today I discovered that the "Set New Topic Parent" section of the "more topic actions" page is a siingle text entry box in which I am expected to type or paste the name of the desired parent topic.

As of last Friday, this was a list from which I could select an item.

I'm sure someone will suggest that I ask the folks at the Company what they changed, but somehow I think it might be easier to ask youall what they might have changed.

Sounds like a change too one of the skin's template files...?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

That is defined in templates/oopsmore.tmpl for the default template, and in templates/oopsmoresetparent.pattern.tmpl for the PatternSkin (the default skin.) Your admin might have done that to avoid a slow page load of the "more topic actions" screen if you have very large webs.

There have been discussions to move that to a different screen, and/or to use AJAX to load the list as needed.
