Item6024: Can't handle comment templates in subwebs

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:

It seems that the CommentPlugin can't handle templates that are in subwebs. I installed the BlogAddOn into a subweb (Sandbox/SubWeb). The BlogPostViewTemplate topic has the following comment plugin invocation:

%COMMENT{rows="6" cols="100" noform="on" type="blogpost" templatetopic="BlogPostCommentTemplate" target="%TOPIC%" button="%MAKETEXT{"Add comment"}%" }%

When TWiki renders a blog post, it emits the following error in the warning log:

 (TWiki::Plugins::CommentPlugin::Comment) Could not read template file 'Sandbox/SubWeb.BlogPostCommentTemplate'

I have verified that that topic does exist. If I install the BlogAddOn into a top level web (Sandbox), it works fine.

OK, I tried to reproduce this on trunk and failed. Here's what I did:

1. Created Web/SubWeb/BlogPostCommentTemplate.txt, pasted in a copy of CommentPluginTemplateExample
2. Create Web/SubWeb/BlahBlah.txt and added Blah Blah %COMMENT{templatetopic="BlogPostCommentTemplate"}% Blah Blah to it
3. A comment box appears, and accepts input, which is saved without errors.

However I see the problem on Release01x00, and it's a core bug so changed the attribution. The relevant fix for trunk was Item1704. Now fixed in 1.0.7 too.
