Question

I was copying the new SiteMapWithIconLinks into my site and noticed something odd. The links to the Icons would not display(the alt text was shown instead) inside the main part of the table which is generated by a FormattedSearch. However, they do display properly when the reference to them was not inside a search (as in the set up presented in MartinRaabe's SiteMap3). I double checked the syntax of the search (in particular, the use of \ before " in the reference to the icons) but they seem OK. They should be since I copied the whole setup from TWiki.org and downloaded the icons and attached them to TWikiDocGraphics on my site.

I am particularly interested because it may give a hint to another problem I've had with searches not working as I think they should (see RegexToFindTopicSummary).

Does anyone know where I should look in the set-up of my site that might cause this problem?

• TWiki version: 01Feb03
• Perl version: 5.006
• Web server & version: Apache 1.3.27
• Server OS: Linux
• Web browser & version:
• Client OS:

Answer

I looked at the HTML source of the SiteMap on your site. It looks like the SpacedWikiWordPlugin takes the URL http://twiki.skyloom.com/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/home.gif apart, it looks like http://twiki.skyloom.com/pub/TWiki/TWiki Doc Graphics/home.gif

Thanks Peter! Looking at the HTML source for a topic is a good, simple trouble-shooting step (particular for display issues) that I hadn't thought of. It's funny, somehow I suspected SpacedWikiWordPlugin was involved. I'll diable it until I figure out what's happening. It's interesting that the problem should only manifest from inside a FormattedSearch. If I figure out any more, I'll record it here.

Later... OK, now I see the problem Peter pointed too. SpacedWikiWordPlugin actually inserts spaces into WikiWords even when they are within a url which consequently doesn't work. Hmmm. This looks like a bug in SpacedWikiWordPlugin.
