Question

I'm in the process of setting up a new TWiki installation using TWiki20030811beta version. After moving over some webs from my other installation, I noticed some anomolies.

Specifically, an included topic that used the %INCLUDINGWEB% variable was not displaying properly. It is trying to fine the topic within web of the topic being included. Also, cells in a formatted search are displayed oddly.

I know this is not real clear so here are links: (the included topic creates the right side bar)

• Working site using 01-Feb-2003 release: http://twiki.skyloom.com/bin/view.pl/Dev/WebHome
• Non-working site using TWiki20030811beta: http://skyloom.dreamhost.com/bin/view/Dev/WebHome
• The topic being included (same on both sites): http://twiki.skyloom.com/bin/view.pl/Main/WebHomeRightSideBar

Doing a search around TWiki.org, I found TopicsInIncludedLinkToIncludingWeb which seemed to address this problem and so loaded up the lastest Alpha version of TWiki.pm. This did not fix the problem.

Anyone have further suggestions?

Answer

Since you are using the included topic from several webs you need to specify the INCLUDINGWEB for topic names and the $web for topics in formatted search:

%SEARCH{".*" web="%INCLUDINGWEB%" format="| [[$web.$topic][$topic(20, ...)]] |" ... }%
