Question

I recently upgraded TWiki from 4.0.2 to 4.0.5 and ActionTrackerPlugin from 8372 to 11698.

ActionTrackerPlugin now fails to use WebPreferences and locally set values.

These variables worked before the upgrade, and the syntax has not appeared to change.

I am trying to use the following:

   * Action Tracker Settings
      * Set ACTIONTRACKERPLUGIN_TABLEHEADER = | Project | Assigned to | Due | Created |  Description | State | |
      * Set ACTIONTRACKERPLUGIN_TABLEFORMAT = | $project | $who | $due | $created |  $text | $state | $edit |
      * Set ACTIONTRACKERPLUGIN_EXTRAS = |project,text,7|
      * Set ACTIONTRACKERPLUGIN_EDITHEADER = | Project | Assigned to | Due date | State | Notify |
      * Set ACTIONTRACKERPLUGIN_EDITFORMAT = | $project | $who | $due | $state | $notify |

%ACTION{ closed="26-Dec-2006" due="26-Dec-2006" creator="Main.TWikiGuest" uid="002830" state="closed" created="19-Dec-2006" who="Main.TWikiGuest" closer="" notify="" project="AAA001" }% <<EOF
Test test test

test
EOF

However, my variables have no affect on the view. My header and table do not reference the custom field, and it is removed from the page on save. I see this behavior when these variables are set in either the WebPreferences or locally.

I have double-checked the permissions and they also appear to be okay. Apache errors logs (error_log and ssl_error_log) do not have any errors.

Any suggestions would be appreciated... otherwise I will try to determine which upgrade broke the variables tonight.

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I saw the same problem.

It is due to the preferences priority ordering (see Preferences)

You will see that the Plugins settings have higher priority than local and even site-wide or web settings. Therefore, to enable these settings, you need to DISABLE the settings in the plugin topic (comment them out) that you wish to change.

Thanks! All fixed now.
