Detail

I intially asked this in the support web http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/METAformfieldDisplayBroken

After upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2, META tags for form fields came up blank and didn't work

 

Looking in the Twiki.pm for 4.2 shows that the function that renders the formfield has changed from 4.1

I was able to restore functionality using the following change:

--- lib/TWiki.pm 2008-04-23 13:06:50.000000000 +1000
+++ lib/Twiki.pm.orig   2008-04-23 13:37:42.000000000 +1000 @@ -3795,7 +3795,7 @@
          return $meta->renderFormForDisplay( $this->templates );
      } elsif ( $option eq 'formfield' ) {
          # a formfield from within topic text 
-        return $meta->renderFormFieldForDisplay( $params->{'name'}, '$value' ); 
+        return $meta->renderFormFieldForDisplay( $params );
      } elsif( $option eq 'attachments' ) {
          # renders attachment tables
          return $this->attach->renderMetaData( $web, $topic, $meta, $params ); 

So I have some questions:

  • Is this a Bug?
  • Is this a good fix for it?
  • Should the fix be on the renderFormFieldForDisplay function in Meta.pm and not the Twiki.pm?
    • The renderFormFieldForDisplay function appears to be called correctly from /ActionTrackerPlugin/Action.pm and the Search.pm.

odd - I'll have to look into why it was changed.

What Crawford means to say, is that this has already been patched for 4.2.1 - though I'm surprised that Item4741 didn't examine the root cause.

Sorry, I was a bit terse there.... smile

and so presumably, its fixed smile
