Detail

Given you created a Config.spec for your new extension of the following kind

# ---+ MyNewPlugin settings
# intro intro intro
# intro intro intro
#
# ---++ General Settings
# **STRING**
$TWiki::cfg{MyNewPlugin}{Host} = 'my.domain.com';

# **NUMBER**
$TWiki::cfg{MyNewPlugin}{Port} = 389;

...

Then only

# ---+ MyNewPlugin settings
# intro intro intro
# intro intro intro

will be shown and anything else below will be cropped.

This behaviour has been changed as of Item3559 (2007-02-07, r12794) for reasons I don't understand.

The relevant code is at lib/TWiki/Configure/TWikiCfg.pm in the function _parse()

       elsif( $l =~ /^#\s*---\+(\+*) *(.*?)$/ ) {
            # Only load the first section if we don't have LocalSite.cfg
            last if ($sectionNum && !$haveLSC); # OUTCH
            $sectionNum++;
            pusht(\@settings, $open) if $open;
            $open = new SectionMarker(length($1), $2);
       }

Can anybody explain why this was added? This broke configuring LdapContrib.

-- TWiki:Main/MichaelDaum - 15 Mar 2007

It was added to support only loading the first section (general path settings) if there is no localsite.cfg. The theory is that new users get put off by too much info when initially configuring their TWiki.

Since there should be a localsite.cfg when configuring LdapContrib, I think maybe you are encountering a different problem.

There was a missing parameter
