SID-00155: Topic list for other web

Hello,

I'm having a problem using the TOPICLIST variable to display a list of topics in any web other than the current web.

I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, and I"m hoping someone can point out my mistake to me!

Here's what I've got:

<select>%TOPICLIST{" <option $marker value='$web.$name'>$web.$name</option>" web="FrontOffice" separator=" " selection="%HOMETOPIC%"}%</select>

If I replace "FrontOffice" with %WEB% it works fine and retrieves the list of topics in the current web.

Ideally I would like to use this with a URLPARAM

I appreciate any help

Thank you,

Kathy

Discussion and Answer

Looks like a bug to me. Could you please file a bug report? See link in sidebar.

Workaround: Use SEARCH instead of TOPICLIST:

<form>
<select name="topic">%SEARCH{ ".*" type="regex" scope="topic" nonoise="on" format="<option>$web.$topic</option>" web="Salgina" separator=" " }%</select>
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Thanks, Peter -- I just filed a bug report: TWikibug:Item6201

Will try with the SEARCH.
