Item1741: %TOPICURL% does not work correctly in %INCLUDE%

When used in an include, %TOPICURL% creates a URL using the base topic but the included web (if I got that the right way round).

See the example below which is including part of a topic from the Sandbox web. It has the topic part of the URL correct, but not the Web.

Looks OK to me. What were you expecting to see?

Notice how it has the web Sandbox, which is where we are including from, and the topic Item1741, which is where we have included.

If you click on the link it has created, you will get a "Topic does not exist".

I would have expected it to be http://foswiki.org/Tasks/Item1741

OK, I understand, thanks.

%INCLUDE{"Sandbox.TOPICURLIncludeTest" section="test" }% where that topic contains %STARTSECTION{"test"}% %<nop>TOPICURL% is %TOPICURL% %ENDSECTION{"test"}% shows http://foswiki.org/Sandbox/Item1741

DefaultPreferences defines

    * Set TOPICURL = %SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/%BASETOPIC%

By the definition in VarTOPICURL this should of course be:

   * Set TOPICURL = %SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%

(as you can see the local definition above has fixed it).

Confirmed. This def is only used in one place that I can find, so a fix shouldn't cause too many issues.

Great. Thanks.
