Question

I have set up a TWiki environment, and everything works fine... except this: when I change something, the version number does not increase. If I remove the "TopicName.txt,v"-file, the version starts at 1.1, and after change it changes to 1.2, but after then it does not change any more (i.e. it never gets higher than 1.2). Please remind that the security attributes of the "TopicName.txt,v" file is changed to -r--r--r-- even after I forced it to -rw-rw-r--.

Can someone pleas help me?

Answer

You probably experience a TWiki feature which is not obvious at first. TWiki avoids unnecessary revisions if the same person edits the same topic within a one hour time frame (or whatever is set in TWiki.cfg). Try to edit someone elses topic, or wait for one hour.

Reopen this request if this is not the case.

I believe this feature should be:

1. Made user visible and user controllable (tick box, etc)
2. Switched off as default from deep down in Store - this is a policy mechanism not a storage issue and has unwanted side effects if you are tackling twiki programmatically.
