Does this site look broken?. Use the LitterTray web for test cases.

This is an intermittent problem that seems to depend on soemthing else that I have yet to determine, but it reproducable on my test platform in application webs

The CommentPlugin reads templates from CommentsTmpl The last line of this reads:

%TMPL:INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.UserTemplates"}%
However, under many conditions, specifically use in the application web(s), referring to any template in the UserTemplates produces the error message:
 No such template def TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:forumtalk}

If this is changed to

%TMPL:INCLUDE{"TWiki.UserTemplates"}%
the problem goes away.

So far as I can determine, the call to TWiki::Func::loadTemplate( ); and subsequent TWiki::Func::expandTemplate(); in TWiki::Plugins::CommentPlugin::Comment::_getTemplate() does not expand the %TWIKIWEB%. This is not becuase it is enclosed by a verbatim block.

The contents of /templates/comments.tmpl have the TWiki web hard coded, rather than using %TWIKIWEB%:

%TMPL:INCLUDE{TWiki.CommentsTmpl}%
This 'hard coding' is not documented.

The comment in the code

    # Expand the template in the context of the web where the comment
    # box is (not the target of the comment!)
is misleading. I'm obviously interpreting it in a different way to that itneded by the author of the code.


This points to a bigger problem with the comment plugin, in that TWiki is not expanded when including templates using %TMPL:INCLUDE.

I have fixed the plugin so that it doesn't use this construct. Note that the standard templates topic will still include UserCommentsTmpl, but the documentation tells you to UserCommentTemplate (this allows a more generic style of customisation, including per-web and per-skin template customisation; see the revised plugin topic). Please re-open this issue if there are any further problems.
