SID-00136: PersonalInfoAddOn Search boxes have no submit

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.1.2	Perl version:
Category:	PersonalInfoAddOn	Server OS:	RHEL 5	Last update:	17 years ago

We're using 4.1 and I have installed PersonalInfoAddOn (after fixing the fact that the install doesn't put the text files into the Main wiki, easily solved though).

However, the search field in both the direct search feature and the face book feature do NOT have any way to submit the search term. You have a text input box, but no way to submit! Is this feature not supported under 4.1?

Cheers!

Discussion and Answer

how about just "Enter?"

Indeed, the screenshots in PersonalInfoAddOn don't have submit buttons, so an "enter" should do it. You could easily add an HTML submit button if needed.

Cheers all - I have an instance of Twiki 4.2 running (which I am currently testing on our webs) and these features all work dynamically simply by typing in these fields. I cannot however get it to work in 4.1 (and yes I've tried enter!). I will speed up the 4.2 UAT rather than mucking around with this in 4.1.

Cheers for looking.

Ok, I've worked this out - the code includes:

<!-- Compatibility for TWiki 4.1 that does not have twikiEvent.js --> 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="%PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiJavascripts/twikilib.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="%PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PersonalInfoAddon/twikiEvent.js"></script> 
<!-- END compatibility  -->

However, the twikiEvent.js script is in fact in TWikijavascripts, NOT PersonalInfoAddon - so I've updated the PersonalInfoModules page and now it all works.
