Question

I am working on a simple wiki app. I have a button on a page that creates a new topic based on a topic based template, just alittle Text and a Form on the template topic. Works just fine. When I change the template topic the change does not take effect the next time I create a new topic based on the template. It seems like the old version is cached in some way. If I rename the template it seems to take the change. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Make sure that the edit or save URL you generate is unique each time you submit the form to create a new page. This can be done with a hidden input field:

<input type="hidden" name="t" value="%SERVERTIME{$epoch}%" />

That was it! Greatly appreciated, this was driving me insane!

Sorry not a developer or tech writer.
