Question

I am working on a simple wiki app. I have a button on a page that creates a new topic based on a topic based template, just alittle Text and a Form on the template topic. Works just fine. When I change the template topic the change does not take effect the next time I create a new topic based on the template. It seems like the old version is cached in some way. If I rename the template it seems to take the change. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

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.

Make sure that the edit or save URL you generate is unique each time you submit the form to create a new page. This can be done with a hidden input field:

<input type="hidden" name="t" value="%SERVERTIME{$epoch}%" />
