Item5009: TWISTY link parameter doesn't support (local) variables (set in topic and used with %) properly

-- TWiki:Main/FranzJosefGigler - 23 Nov 2007

I don't understand the issue. What does the left bar have to do with the local variables?

Did you click the test topic? The start position of the left bar depends on the status of the twisty when I use a local variable in the link parameter.

I wanted to show the number of infos (all individual topics) added to a topic in the twisted heading. Got the number via a combination of SEARCH and CALC. If I directly use the CALC in the link parameter the topic goes completely gaga (see TestTopic17), so I tried a workaround using local variables which did work somehow in firefox but didn't with the internet explorer. So I guess there's some conflicting CSS issue going on here.

TWiki variables should be escaped to prevent early rendering. Twisty does not yet support that.

It does now.

Your syntax:

<!--
   * Set INFOCOUNT = %CALC{"$GET(infoCount)"}%
-->

<!--
%CALC{"$SET(infoCount,3)"}%
-->

%TWISTY{
mode="div"
id="%BASEWEB%_%BASETOPIC%_currentInfoList"
prefix="<h2>"
link="Infos ($percntCALC{$quot$dollarGET(infoCount)$quot}$percnt)"
showimgleft="%ICONURLPATH{toggleopen}%"
hideimgleft="%ICONURLPATH{toggleclose}%"
suffix="</h2>"
remember="on"
}%
<form name="infoList" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%" method="get">
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td width="40%">Add <u>new</u> Info </td>
<td>Category: 
<select name="InfoCategory" size="1" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option %IF{" '%URLPARAM{InfoCategory}%' = '' " then="selected=\"selected\""}% value="">All</option>
<option %IF{" '%URLPARAM{InfoCategory}%' = 'Common' " then="selected=\"selected\""}%>Common</option>
<option %IF{" '%URLPARAM{InfoCategory}%' = 'Special' " then="selected=\"selected\""}%>Special</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
%ENDTWISTY%

Will test this tomorrow on my machine. Thanks in advance!

In the meantime I have updated the test topics.
