Question

ISSUE 1

I'm unable to get the "What's New" functionality described in HowToListOnlyNewTopics to work.

I inserted this:

%SEARCH{ "META:TOPICINFO.*version=\"1.1\"" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" header="| *New*  | *Who*  | *Last update*  |" format="| [[$topic]]  | $wikiusername  | $date  |" limit="15" }%

But when I save the topic and view it, nothing appears where the search string was inserted. I have verified that version="1.1" topics do exist in the web in which I'm testing it.

No error messages appear in my Apache error log.

If I modify the search by removing ONLY the .*version=\"1.1\" portion, so that it looks like this:

%SEARCH{ "META:TOPICINFO" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" header="| *New*  | *Who*  | *Last update*  |" format="| [[$topic]]  | $wikiusername  | $date  |" limit="15" }%

Then, the search returns a list of 15 topics (obviously the results aren't based on version numbers; it's just the 15 most recently modified topics that contain the META:TOPICINFO search parameter).

Hmm, your query looks OK, and it works here:

Your Windows/Cygwin environment possibly has an issue with doublequote search? Try "META:TOPICINFO.*version=.1\.1[^0-9]"

Peter, thanks for the response. Your suggested search worked.

%SEARCH{ "META:TOPICINFO.*version=.1\.1[^0-9]" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" header="| *Topic*  | *Created By*  | *Created On*  |" format="| [[$topic]]  | $wikiusername  | $date  |" limit="15" }%
