Question

I can't get the edit function of the DatabasePlugin to work. I have %DATABASE_EDIT{description="test" display_text="Edit the above table"}% inserted in my topic.

When I visit the topic with the link I see the following in the apache log:

[Wed Apr 12 01:59:55 2006] [error] [client 203.94.29.18] [Wed Apr 12 01:59:55 20 06] view: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /home/httpd/twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/DatabasePlugin.pm line 530., referer: https://myserver.net/twiki/bin/view/Sandbox/WebHome

When I click the link, it attempts to open the following URI:

https://myserver.net/DatabasePluginEdit?database=test&table=pet

I would expect there to be twiki/bin before DatabasePluginEdit, but there isn't.

I also see the following in the apache log:

[Wed Apr 12 02:25:08 2006] [error] [client 203.94.29.18] File does not exist: /var/www/html/DatabasePluginEdit, referer: https://myserver.net/twiki/bin/view/Sandbox/TestDatabase

I am using phpmyadmin 2.6.0.

The viewing functions of the plugin appear to be working with no problems.

i'd recommend you email the plugin author (TaitCyrus) and/or direct him here

Chris, did you ever resolve this problem as I'm experiencing exactly the same symptoms.

I have a solution for this. I put a script on my website that I put together. It uses the configuration that you put together for the DatabasePlugin and allows you to edit all the data in the table. http://bigjoe1008.googlepages.com/twikidbplugin I need to contact the original author to see if he will add this to the distribution. I also have a bunch of changes to the DatabasePlugin that I want to see made. This script does not use PHPMyAdmin like it says in the documentation. It is completely Perl and uses the Twiki Libraries.
