Hi,

I followed the Blog.BlogEntry201101x2 example, making my own, i have %INCLUDINGTOPIC % on the topic to be called. It expand on the page but not on the topic that its being include. Is that expected ?

thanks

Discussion and Answer

Yes, because the INCLUDINGTOPIC refers to the topic that is included in an actual INCLUDE, which is resolved server-side in TWiki. When you do an Ajax call to a TWiki script, it looks like a regular call from the browser, e.g. the script does not know where it is being called from. You can however pass along parameters in the Ajax call, including the topic name that makes the Ajax call, and act upon the parameter value.
