Question

OK, not sure if this is the right place, but am doing an upgrade at the moment and have encountered the following. I'd file the bug reports if they are appropriate.

bin/configure

Is is possible for SafeEnvPath? to be auto-detect on first instance? Rather than it being empty? I had to do a echo $PATH to copy and paste; which I assume it's safe to do that.

Is it possible to allow free text for DefaultDateFormat? rather than have a fixed selection? e.g. $date-$month-$year, etc.

What is EnableEmail? It's not even descriptive enough for me to understand.

Would it be possible to give EXPERT a darker shade, including the attributes? To make it more visible. Maybe slap a tr class="expert"

Font type and size inconsistency

The initial page's formatting is completely wrapped around pre tag, is this intentional? The formatting is good after saving the configuration for the first time.

Next to Save

In the initial phase, during Next, if no password is set, user should not see "Enter the configuration password"

In the boxes, I would suggest the following, rather than too texty.

• Set a password to prevent unauthorised modification of =configure
• You are strongly advised to disable configure after successfully configurating TWiki by:
  • making lib/LocalSite.cfg readonly

            chmod -r lib/LocalSite.cfg

• • deny access to configure in apache2's httpd.conf

            <FilesMatch "^configure.*">
                deny from all
            </FilesMatch>

Also, when lib/LocalSite.cfg is not writable, it would be best 1) to have a link to go back and 2) do not display "Password changed"

Misc

What's the deal with %GMTIME% vs %SERVERTIME%? configure mentions that %GMTIME% defaults on file storage. How does this affect %SCRIPTURL{edit}% with t GMTIME or SERVERTIME? What's best practise? Would it be feasible to have a %TIME% that reads off DisplayTimeValues? and formats accordingly?

Templates

On NatSkin? (pre17), I went hunting for the extra p tag inside natTopicActions, but can't find it. Would be great if someone (Michael?) can hunt it down for me, and tell me if it's intentional? It seems that generates an extra p tag. Am hunting it down.

• SOLVED: The %WEBCOMPONENT% in viewtopicactions.nat.tmpl grabs the content of TWikiWebTopicActions which must not have any line breaks, or it will generate an extra p tag.
