SID-01643: ICONTOPIC Variable overwritten by user preferences

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.1	Perl version:	5.8
Category:	CategoryRendering	Server OS:	RH	Last update:	13 years ago

A user in a new web set the ICONTOPIC variable to his local topic. This overwrote the system wide ICONTOPIC variable that is set in TWikiPreferences and subsequently all icons disappeared.

Should this variable be a user preference or FINALIZED in TWikiPreferences ?

Discussion and Answer

Can add that this applies to version 5.1.4 as well.

Icon info is cached, and the caching cannot handle overloading of the ICONTOPIC setting on a web level or topic level. Yes, add ICONTOPIC to Main.TWikiPreferences. I have done so in SVN trunk and 5.1 branch.
