Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:
Category:		Server OS:	Linux version 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 Red Hat 4.1.2-48	Last update:	10 years ago

I have configured 2 wikis in the same server.

The content in the page is :

%INCLUDE{"LteWowHeaderNew"}% <DO NOT REMOVE THIS ROW>

Managing WoW page status and approvals

This page is used for managing WoW pages metadata and approval information

%TOC{}%

DRAFT pages

Approval resp.	Document	Content owner	Status

%SEARCH{ "Document Status.*?value="\DRAFT\"" scope="text" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights )" format="| $formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights) |$topic | $formfield(Document content owner) | $formfield(Document Status) |" }%

Pages in review

Approval resp.	Document	Content owner	Status

%SEARCH{ "Document Status.*?value="\FOR REVIEW\"" scope="text" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights )" format="| $formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights) |$topic | $formfield(Document content owner) | $formfield(Document Status) |" }%

Pages in approval

Approval resp.	Document	Content owner	Status

%SEARCH{ "Document Status.*?value="\FOR APPROVAL\"" scope="text" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights )" format="| $formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights) |$topic | $formfield(Document content owner) | $formfield(Document Status) |" }%

%SEARCH{ "Document Status.*?value="\APPROVED\"" scope="text" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights )" format="| $formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights) |$topic | $formfield(Document content owner) | $formfield(Document Status) |" }%

No approval needed

Approval resp.	Document	Content owner	Status

%SEARCH{ "Document Status.*?value="\NO APPROVAL NEEDED\"" scope="text" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights )" format="| $formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights) |$topic | $formfield(Document content owner) | $formfield(Document Status) |" }%

OUTDATED

Approval resp.	Document	Content owner	Status

%SEARCH{ "Document Status.*?value="\OUTDATED\"" scope="text" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights )" format="| $formfield(WoWPageApprovalRights) |$topic | $formfield(Document content owner) | $formfield(Document Status) |" }%

All pages by used form

See AllPagesbyUsedForm

---

It should find all topics using META FORM with value

Meta form is :

Name	Type	Size	Values	Tooltip message	Attributes
Document content owner	text	10
WoWPageApprovalRights	select	8	Please select correct process area, CpdWowApproval, ProgramsWoWApproval, SpecAndArchWoWApproval, SwClusterWoWApproval, TestingClusterWoWApproval, GovernanceWoWApproval, QualityWoWApproval, CrossProcessAreaWoWApproval
Document Status	radio	6	DRAFT,FOR REVIEW, FOR APPROVAL, APPROVED, NO APPROVAL NEEDED, OUTDATED
Approved revision	text	5
Approved by	text	50
Approval date	date	15
Review/approval comments	textarea

And the problem is that it doesn’t find any topics, page is empty

The same process is working fine in another Wiki

Please Advise.

Discussion and Answer

If it is working in one TWiki installation and not working in another TWiki installation, then the reason is more likely to be in the installations than in the SEARCH function. You write "page is empty" - may I assume that the headings are there, and it's just the searches that don't return results? If so, please check the following items:

• Does your TWiki account have access to the pages you want to search? SEARCH returns only pages which can be seen by the current user.
• Are the topics you expect to find in the correct place ( web in TWiki language, directory on the system)?
• Are there different Linux access permissions / ownerships in your installations?

Hope this helps,
