Question

I have been trying to use the BugzillaLinkPlugin with features from the SpreadSheetPlugin. I have used both successfully, but I'm hitting a problem and I wonder if the issue is due to the interaction between the two.

I have created an entry in SandBox59 that links uses both the BugzillaLinkPlugin and the SpreadsheetPlugin.

Unforunately, the BugzillaLinkPlugin does not appear to be activated on the sand box.

When i combine the two I'm getting %BUG{number in topic}% instead of the expansion into the hyperlink.

This is kinda spooky, as I have used the BugzillaLinkPlugin as a guide to implementing a similar plugin and that works fine. It uses a different directive, e.g. %TICKET{}%

Would it be possible to activate the BuzillaLinkPlugin on the Sandbox so that we can attempt to reproduce my problem.

Answer

Look at the order BugzillaLinkPlugin, SpreadsheetPlugin, TicketPlugin. Plugins execute in alphabetical order unless instructed otherwise in the TWikiPreferences. If your spreadsheet formula generates a %BUG{...}% it is too late for the BugzillaLinkPlugin. Try to change the order in your TWikiPreferences.
