I wanted to create a Comment template similar to the "table" template only with 3 instead of 2 fields: date, description, city Therefore I copied the code of the table template onto our page with all the other comment templates and adapted it to my needs. The topic is called CommentsTemplates. The template I wrote you find below. When I now put the tag No such template def TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:congresstable} I only get the error "No such template def TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:congresstable} Where did I go wrong?

%TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:congresstable}%

%TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:congresstable}%%POS:BEFORE% * - -
%TMPL:END%

I found out how to get it working I have to define where it finds the template, obviously with templatetopic="vvv". What got me confused here was that some comment templates worked and others didn't, also some of the templates defined on our own CommentTemplates page. But I guess the system simply took the default template from the twiki comment template page and ignored the customized template on our own page.
