Question

hey, i've just intalled a brand new twiki cairo release wity formquery plugin, but when i make a %FORMQUERYPLUGIN% i get this error:

Software error ERROR: bad Map expression at %TOPICPARENT% at ../lib/TWiki/Contrib/Map.pm line 125.

I think it has to do with the DBCacheContrib plugin. Maybe due to incompatibilities with the new Cairo version?.

Any input is appreciated.

Answer

I assume you mean a %FORMQUERY%? This error can arise if you have a syntax error in a field reference expression. You need to show me the expression it is failing on.

Hi, I'm the one who post this question a while ago, and I've already found a solution. However, I forgot to post it here then, so here it goes now:

What you have to do is edit each and every topic in the web you're having this problem and remove this line:

%META:TOPICPARENT{name="%TOPICPARENT%"}%

That should fix the problem.

I don't know if anyone else have experienced this problem, but I had it when migrating from Twiki Feb 2003 to Twiki Sep 2004, and I have prevously migrated from Dic 2001 without any formquery problems.

TWiki save interfered with the verbatim text, it "eats" META tags and uses them as actual topic meta (known issue). I restored the text of what I think it was before save, pelase fix if it is different.
