Item11623: The pattern skin revision info has an odd failure mode when a TOPICINFO.author is a wikiname that isn't a valid cuid anymore

on this 1.1.4 system, %REVINFO% is expanding with no web prefix for the $wikiusername

-- SvenDowideit - 08 Mar 2012

looks like PatternSkin uses 2 different forms of REVINFO - the top breadcrumb one uses USERSWEB.$wikiname, while the topicInfo below the action bar uses the default $wikiusername

and in both cases, on this server, its failing to find the author, but the rendering result is a mess.

I think I'm going to ammend PatternSkin to be consistent.

i wonder what happens to non-view output :/

  1. compare appears to fake it too,
  2. compare 2 revisions directly seems to not mention who did it at all - bug
  3. backlinks uses wikiname, so makes a local web link

ok, bleaugh - from view.pattern.tmpl:

%TMPL:DEF{"breadcrumb:annotation"}%%IF{"defined rev" then=" %MAKETEXT{"(revision [_1])" args="%URLPARAM{"rev"}%"}%" else=" <span class='patternRevInfo'>(%REVINFO{format="$date, $percntIF{$quotistopic '%USERSWEB%.$wikiname'$quot then=$quot[[%USERSWEB%.$wikiname][$wikiname]]$quot else=$quot$nop$wikiname"}%$quot}$percnt)</span>"}%%IF{"defined raw" then=" %MAKETEXT{"(raw view)"}%"}%%TMPL:END%

to test it here:

%IF{
   "defined rev" 
   then=" %MAKETEXT{"(revision [_1])" args="%URLPARAM{"rev"}%"}%" 
   else=" <span class='patternRevInfo'>(%REVINFO{
                                              format="$date, $percntIF{$quotistopic '%USERSWEB%.$wikiname'$quot then=$quot[[%USERSWEB%.$wikiname][$wikiname]]$quot else=$quot$nop$wikiname"
                                        }%$quot}$percnt)</span>"
}%%IF{
        "defined raw" 
        then=" %MAKETEXT{"(raw view)"
}%"
}%

just the bit thats confusing me renders to:

(11 Apr 2012, %IF{"istopic 'Main.GeorgeClark'" then="GeorgeClark" else="GeorgeClark$quot}$percnt)

I don't understand why pat of the IF is inside the REVINFO and part is outside, but TML macros means that it works - its just ugly as.

%IF{
   "defined rev" 
   then=" %MAKETEXT{"(revision [_1])" args="%URLPARAM{"rev"}%"}%" 
   else=" <span class='patternRevInfo'>(%REVINFO{
                                              format="$date, $percntIF{$quotistopic '%USERSWEB%.$wikiname'$quot then=$quot[[%USERSWEB%.$wikiname][$wikiname]]$quot else=$quot$nop$wikiname$quot}$percnt"
                                        }%)</span>"
}%%IF{
        "defined raw" 
        then=" %MAKETEXT{"(raw view)"
}%"
}%

ah, the default SEARCH formatting is also susceptible to this frown, sad smile


its still not perfect - if the mapper denies knowledge of the cuid, and the topic does not exist in USERSWEB, we provide a WikiWord link to the BASEWEB

I'm not sure if I should test for wikiword-ness and if its one prepend USERSWEB - might make the most sense tho


ah, no, it turns out that using $nop in this REVINFO/IF mess doesn't stop WikiWeird rendering, whereas a ! does.

and so I think I've fixed it completely now.

DAMN. I broke something - I'll look at it tomorrow.
