SID-00706: Please post function TWiki:Form:_getPossibleFieldValues

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	>5
Category:	CategoryForms	Server OS:	CentOS 5.2	Last update:	15 years ago

Hej,

I installed TWiki 4.3.2. and now wanted to use the YetAnotherXpTrackerPlugin. I got an error if I run this plugin: Undefined subroutine &TWiki::Form::_getPossibleFieldValues called

After searching the Twiki Support pages I found that it uses the ControlsPluginDev and in the comments there the failure is known. The reason is that in Twiki 4.2 the Twiki:Form was rewritten and the function not converted to the new version. As a workaround there is written that you can copy the function from an older version of from.pm to the new one.

But I cannot find an older version.

Because I am new to this twiki stuff I don't know where to look. Maye someone can help me please.

It is a great software so far.

Discussion and Answer

TWiki::Form::_getPossibleFieldValues was a TWiki internal function in older versions, gone now after some code refactoring. Internal functions should not be used by plugins; plugins should rely only on the documented TWiki::Func API.

The YetAnotherXpTrackerPlugin needs to be fixed. If needed, the API can be enhanced if needed.

I invite you to get involved with the TWiki community: Plugins.ReadmeFirst for extensions, Codev.ReadmeFirst for TWiki core.

I exchanged e-mails with one of the authors. He mentioned that the YetAnotherXpTrackerPlugin is up to date. I downloaded the zip file from the plugin page, none of the .pm files reference _getPossibleFieldValues. What version did you download, and from where?

Sorry, what I meant was not that the plugin on line is uptodate. What I meant was that I have updated the plugin and am using it in various venues. I need to put the latest version on-line.

When will be a release of the updated version?
