Detail

When you create a new topic from a template that does not exist, what should the message be?

-- TWiki:Main.ArthurClemens - 03 Mar 2008

"You are trying to create a topic using a templatetopic that does not exist" would be my best proposal

-- TWiki:Main.KennethLavrsen - 03 Mar 2008

in messages.tmpl

%TMPL:DEF{"no_such_topic"}%
---++ %MAKETEXT{"[_1] topic does not exist" args="\"%WEB%.%TOPIC%\""}%
%MAKETEXT{"You are trying to [_1] a topic that does not exist." args="%PARAM1%"}%

---++ %MAKETEXT{"If you want to create the topic"}%
[[%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?t=%SERVERTIME{"$year$mo$day$min$sec"}%][%MAKETEXT{"Create the topic"}%]].

%MAKETEXT{"Contact [_1] if you have any questions." args="%WIKIWEBMASTER%"}%
%TMPL:END%

Which is then used in TWiki::UI::Edit

             unless( $store->topicExists( $templateWeb, $templateTopic )) {
                throw TWiki::OopsException(
                    'accessdenied',
                    def => 'no_such_topic',
                    web => $templateWeb,
                    topic => $templateTopic,
                    params => [ 'templatetopic' ] );
            }

TWiki::UI::Save

     if( $templatetopic ) {
        ( $templateweb, $templatetopic ) =
          $session->normalizeWebTopicName( $templateweb, $templatetopic );

        unless( $store->topicExists( $templateweb, $templatetopic )) {
            throw TWiki::OopsException(
                'attention',
                def => 'no_such_topic',
                web => $templateweb,
                topic => $templatetopic,
                params => [ 'template from' ] );
        }
    }

TWiki::UI::Manage

     unless( $session->{store}->topicExists( $oldWeb, $oldTopic )) {
        # Item3270: check for the same name starting with a lower case letter.
        unless( $session->{store}->topicExists( $oldWeb, lcfirst $oldTopic )) {
            throw TWiki::OopsException(
                'accessdenied',
                def => 'no_such_topic',
                web => $oldWeb,
                topic => $oldTopic,
                params => [ 'rename' ] );
        }
        $oldTopic = lcfirst $oldTopic;
    }

and TWiki::UI

 sub checkTopicExists {
    my ( $session, $webName, $topic, $op ) = @_;
    ASSERT($session->isa( 'TWiki')) if DEBUG;

    unless( $session->{store}->topicExists( $webName, $topic )) {
        throw TWiki::OopsException( 'accessdenied',
                                    def => 'no_such_topic',
                                    web => $webName,
                                    topic => $topic,
                                    params => [ $op ] );
    }
}

.... The case that Arthur reports is the one in TWiki::UI::Edit, but it feels to me like the others could also do with a little improvement.

HOWEVER the parameters to the MAKETEXTs are not translated, are they - which makes the entire thing a wee bit awkward.

-- TWiki:Main.SvenDowideit - 03 Apr 2008

It would make more sense to have a number of complete and translatable variations.

-- TWiki:Main.ArthurClemens - 03 Apr 2008

Done like this. Let's not forget to ask the translators to translate the new messages.
