Discussion and Answer

Not sure what happened. To recover, go to "more topic actions", "restore topic to revision", and enter the revision number of one less than the top revision.

I recommend to always edit system topics in raw edit mode.

Hi Peter, thanks for the answers. I checked again, and this time i edited raw html, however, issue repeats. There is some HTML text which is getting garbled when Twiki tries to save the page. I needed to edit the page, as to include the permission settings to be viewed only by administrators. Is there any method to bypass Twiki translation, and directly update the raw html ?

On further analysis: This first table row: = <td><span class="WYSIWYG_PROTECTED"><input type="text" name="Twk1Name" size="40" value="" onBlur="var sIn = this.value; var sOut = ''; var chgUpper = true; for ( var i = 0; i < sIn.length; i++ ) { var ch = sIn.charAt( i ); var ch2 = ''; if( (ch=='à')||(ch=='á')||(ch=='â')||(ch=='ã')||(ch=='å') ) { ch = 'a'; } if( (ch=='è')||(ch=='é')||(ch=='ê') ) { ch = 'e'; } if( ch=='ç') { ch = 'c'; } if( ch=='ó') { ch = 'o'; } if( ch=='ä') { ch = 'a'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='ö') { ch = 'o'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='ü') { ch = 'u'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='Ä') { ch = 'A'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='Ö') { ch = 'O'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='Ü') { ch = 'U'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='ß') { ch = 's'; ch2 = 's'; } if( ((ch></span>='a')&&(ch<='z')) || ((ch>='A')&&(ch<='Z')) ) { if( chgUpper ) { ch = ch.toUpperCase(); chgUpper = false; } sOut+=ch; if( ch2!='') { sOut+=ch2; } } else { if( ch==' ' ) { chgUpper = true; } } } this.form.Twk1WikiName.value=sOut;" > <span class="WYSIWYG_TT"><font color="red">**</font></span></td> =

Is replaced with this: This has an additional <td> in the middle of a function. === td colspan="2"><span class="WYSIWYG_PROTECTED"><input type="text" name="Twk1Name" size="40" value="" onBlur="var sIn = this.value; var sOut = ''; var chgUpper = true; for ( var i = 0; i < sIn.length; i++ ) { var ch = sIn.charAt( i ); var ch2 = ''; if( (ch=='à')||(ch=='á')||(ch=='â')||(ch=='ã')||(ch=='å') ) { ch = 'a'; } if( (ch=='è')||(ch=='é')||(ch=='ê') ) { ch = 'e'; } if( ch=='ç') { ch = 'c'; } if( ch=='ó') { ch = 'o'; } if( ch=='ä') { ch = 'a'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='ö') { ch = 'o'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='ü') { ch = 'u'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='Ä') { ch = 'A'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='Ö') { ch = 'O'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='Ü') { ch = 'U'; ch2 = 'e'; } if( ch=='ß') { ch = 's'; ch2 = 's'; } if( ((ch></span>='a')&&(ch<='z'))</td> <td>((ch>='A')&&(ch<='Z')) ) { if( chgUpper ) { ch = ch.toUpperCase(); chgUpper = false; } sOut+=ch; if( ch2!='') { sOut+=ch2; } } else { if( ch==' ' ) { chgUpper = true; } } } this.form.Twk1WikiName.value=sOut;" > <span class="WYSIWYG_TT"><span class="WYSIWYG_COLOR" style="color: #ff0000;">**</span></span></td>

I guess the embedded function OR sign "||" in a wiki table is causing the problem, as it is interpreted as table formatting symbol "|" . Is there anyway to escape a char as not to be interpreted by wiki translator ?

-- Rohit Srivastava - 2014-05-27

Before you do a raw edit, make sure that you revert to a page version that looks normal.

Did complete re-install of Twiki and including apache server as well. However, there are many strange issues with version 6. I am unable to even login as an 'admin', though the same password works for configure. There are no error messages. The registration form (without any change) doesnt work, and again there are no error messages to investigate the issue. I have done Twiki installation and administration of previous twiki releases about 5 years back, and this was my new attempt, however i guess i have to give up on this after 3 days of effort. I will try my luck with something else.

Did you use the use the ApacheConfigGenerator?

BTW, you can save money by hiring one of the TWiki consultants if you are stuck.
