Question

Hello,

we also use MediaWiki, the system behind Wikipedia in our company. I noticed that they have the ability to edit only parts of a page (they call it sections). This is especially useful on large pages because in most webbrowsers it is not even possible to use the search functionality while in the edit textbox to quickjump to a certain text position.

I could not find a similar functionality in TWiki.

Am I missing something?

If not, I would like to suggest to add such functionality.

Regards,

Guido Ostkamp

Answer

Have a look at SectionalEditPlugin. ThomasWeigert did a great job in regain this functionality for Cairo (and hopefully beyond).

Question

I tried this plugin as you suggested. However, with a new TWiki installation (latest officially released version) when trying to edit a section I get this:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: editsection 

And I have no idea, why. I followed all instructions, unzipped the ZIPfile into the TWiki directory and changed ownership of the files, where necessary. I did not change any file contents nor any other configuration files.

With an older TWiki (about Sept. 2001) the plugin is not even autodetected (it doesn't appear as installed or activated in TWikiPreferences).

Any ideas what could be the casue for this? How could I proceed?

Regards,

Guido

Follow-Up: It appears I forgot to set the appropriate execute permissions - I got it working at least with the currently released version of TWiki. The old one in company still doesn't work - it appears I need to upgrade the TWiki itself.

Thanks for the hint.

Regards,

Guido
