SID-02401: Concurrent EditTable Issue

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:	6.0.2	Perl version:	v5.14.1
Category:	EditTablePlugin	Server OS:	RHEL 6.0	Last update:	6 years ago

While a user is in edit mode for updating a particular table [via EditTable plugin], another user trying to edit the same table get a Conflict message page. There are couple of issues we are observing: 1. The second user sees "some timestamps viz 7 minutes 2 seconds is editing the topic" instead of the Wikiname of the user who availed the Edit mode first.

2. Secondly, the EDIT ANYWAY button redirects to http://<-domain-name->/twiki/bin/WebName/TopicName instead of twiki/bin/edit in the URL.

Please help.

Discussion and Answer

1. Not sure why the WikiName of the user is not shown in the conflict message, let's test.

2. On "edit anyway", the url is not /twiki/bin/edit but /twiki/bin/viewauth, the authenticated URL of the view script, or /twiki/bin/view if user is already authenticated and sessions are used.

Test table:

Oops, both confirmed as bugs.

1. Edit time is shown instead of user name. Screenshot:

2. Edit anyway URL is https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/Support/SID-02401, should be https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/SID-02401

These bugs need to be fixed.
