Question

RevCommentPlugin is supposed to extend oopshistory.tmpl if HistoryPlugin and CompareRevisionsAddOn are installed but in my case it hasn't done it. The plugin syntax works correctly, I would just need either a working copy of a oopshistory template or someone to tell me what do I need to modify manually.

Thanks a lot!

Please check if the plugins are enabled in configure.

They are all enabled. All the plugins work correctly. Its just the fact that the History template (oopshistory.tmpl) is not getting updated to include the syntax that would include the comments.

Sorry, closing this after more than 30 days. Try posting in the RevCommentPluginDev topic...

Though my answer is late by one year (I face exactly the same problem now), this may help someone else. I am not familiar with perl etc but somehow I managed to make this work. Given below is the extract of my oopshistory.tmpl. Look for the code between Inserted by Chengappa and end of insertion (in two places). Insert the same text at the same place and it should work.

<th>%MAKETEXT{"Revision"}%</th>
<th>%MAKETEXT{"Changed on"}%</th>
<th>%MAKETEXT{"By"}%</th>
<!-- Inserted by Chengappa --><th>%MAKETEXT{"Summary of changes"}%</th><!-- end of insertion -->
</tr>
%HISTORY{"<tr class="historySelectRow"><td class="historySelectLeft"><input $checked1 type=\"radio\" class=\"twikiRadioButton\" name=\"rev1\" value=\"$rev\" /></td><td class="historySelectRight"><input $checked2 type=\"radio\" class=\"twikiRadioButton\" name=\"rev2\" value=\"$rev\" /></td><td align="right"><a href=\"%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?rev=$rev\">$rev</a></td><td>$date</td><td>[[$wikiusername][$wikiname]]</td><!-- Inserted by Chengappa --><td>%REVCOMMENT[rev=''$rev'' web=''$web'' topic=''$topic'']%</td><!--End of insertion --></tr>" rev1="%URLPARAM{"rev1"}%" rev2="%URLPARAM{"rev2"}%" nrev="%URLPARAM{"nrev"}%" header="" footer="<tr><td colspan=\"2\"></td><td colspan=\"3\">%MAKETEXT{"This listing:"}% $next{'%MAKETEXT{"last"}%' url='%SCRIPTURL{oops}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?template=oopshistory&nrev=$nrev'} $next{'%MAKETEXT{"later"}%' url='%SCRIPTURL{oops}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?template=oopshistory&rev1=$rev1&nrev=$nrev'} $previous{'%MAKETEXT{"earlier"}%' url='%SCRIPTURL{oops}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?template=oopshistory&rev1=$rev1&nrev=$nrev'} $previous{'%MAKETEXT{"first"}%' url='%SCRIPTURL{oops}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?template=oopshistory&rev1=1&nrev=$nrev'}</td></tr>"}%
</table>

Thanks ChengappaCB, you've got great timing. I just installed this plugin last night and experienced the same problem, so I came back and found your tip.
