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.

The zip file versions do not seem to work on TWiki 4. You can try the version in SVN, but apparently it is based on an old codebase.

I added a note to TopicVarsPluginDev asking to upgrade the Plugin so that it runs on Cairo and Dakar codebase. Feel free to ask the author (or to update the Plugin yourself.)

TopicVarsPlugin from SVN doesn't hang TWiki (one little success ), but it doesn't work with 4.0.2 at all. I will find, why. Thanks!
