SID-01431: Error while Installing TopicClassificationAddOn into a web

Hi, I am getting the following error when I try to install the TopicClassificationAddOn into a web.

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

<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{save}%/Sandbox/" method="post"> ... </form>

Can someone help me with this please? Thanks in advance for your help.

Discussion and Answer

As indicated, all forms in TWiki topics must have a method="post" argument. This is for security. The add-on apparently has not been updated to do that.

TWiki is open source software. I invite you to get involved, fix/enhance part of TWiki, and contribute it back to the community. For TWiki extensions see ReadmeFirst.

Thanks for the response Peter.

I changed the code to the below and it still doesnt work.

<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH%/search%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%INTURLENCODE{"%WEB%"}%/" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="search" size="22" /> <input type="submit" value='%MAKETEXT{"Search"}%' /> (%MAKETEXT{"advanced search"}%) </form>

Any ideas what could be wrong. Thanks again.

There is probably more than one form. The search script does not need the methof="post", only scripts that change content, such as edit and save scripts.
