SID-00327: Personalized sidebar problem in Nat Skin

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:	5.10.0
Category:	CategorySkin	Server OS:	Debian Linux	Last update:	12 years ago

When clicking the 'create your personalized sidebar' link on the left from a page with the Nat Skin, I get the following error:

Attention The save script can only be called with POST method. Example:

<form name="new" action="/cgi-bin/save/Sandbox/" method="post"> ... </form>

If you are developing a TWikiApplication, see TWikiScripts for a description of the correct parameters.

This doesn't happen with the pattern skin, where the personalized sidebar edit page is displayed normally. Is this a bug with Nat Skin?

My skin settings are:

Set SKIN = nat Set SKINSTYLE = Kubrick Set STYLEBORDER = on Set STYLEBUTTONS = on Set STYLESIDEBAR = left Set STYLESEARCHBOX = pos1 Set STYLEPATH = NatSkin

I have the same problem.

I guess this is due to SecurityAlert-CVE-2009-1339, see http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/SecurityAlert-CVE-2009-1339#Implications_for_TWiki_Content_a

The link in MySideBar has to be rewritten as a form. I tried it, but without success. Maybe somebody else can help?

It's a bug. Here's a workaround: Let's suppose you have registered a new user, NewUser. You need to create manually its NewUserSideBar.txt and NewUserSideBar.txt,v . Use another user's sidebar files to accomplish that:

cd /var/www/html/twiki/data/Main cp ExistingUserSideBar.txt tmp sed -i 's/ExistingUser/NewUser/g' tmp mv tmp NewUserSideBar.txt

do the same for NewUserSideBar.txt,v
