Question

I have a working TWiki site (several years old) with a lot of plugins. We make a lot of use of the CommentPlugin.

I have recently installed the FormQueryPlugin, but I don't think this is related.

Today most comments remain as the COMMENT{} variable - some still work in some webs.

No new ones will, but if a new topic is included in a working topic, then the failingcomment in the new topic also works whilst embedded.

I am baffled.

I'm getting

in my apache log & warning files, noting in debug & the coment plugin is reporting no errors in the Installled Plugins topic.

This is a disaster for us, and I simply can't explain it.

It is to do with the FormQueryPlugin - in that the installation instructions say to put the FormQueryPlugin before the SpreadSheetPlugin in the configuration - if I put the CommentPLugin before the FormQueryPlugin then it works again.

My order is now:CommentPlugin,MacrosPlugin,FormQueryPlugin,SpreadSheetPlugin

Is that OK? Is it a known requirement?
