Question

Me again.

I got the plugin to work, but the page isn't getting the "successful!" feedback. In looking at the code, the $query parameter gets set fine (for everything) in the _finishSendEmail function.

However, in the _handleSendEmailTag function, when this line is called: my $query = TWiki::Func::getCgiQuery();

$query only looks like this if I dump the data:

( { '.charset' => 'ISO-8859-1', '.parameters' => [], '.path_info' => '/TWiki/SendEmailPlugin', '.fieldnames' => {} }, 'CGI' );

so it's missing pretty much everything that should be set.

Strange. I don't see anything wrong on my test machine. I did have to setup WebMasterEmail in configure first though. What happens if you don't enter anything in the form and press send?

The same thing happens. We have the webmaster email stuff set already.

Specifically we're losing the errorStatus value somewhere between _finishSendEmail() and _handleSendEmailTag. It goes in... it gets lost. So handleSendEmailTag terminates early, not knowing what status to present. From looking at the debugging messages, it looks like we have different IDs for the CGI hash:

| 06 Mar 2008 - 13:03 | sendEmail start
| 06 Mar 2008 - 13:03 | sendEmail query=CGI=HASH(0x1263180)
...
| 06 Mar 2008 - 13:03 | _finishSendEmail query=CGI=HASH(0x1263180)
...
| 06 Mar 2008 - 13:03 | _handleSendEmailTag query CGI=HASH(0x126327c)

I'm having this same problem. I think the reason the CGI hash is different is that what's actually happening is an HTTP redirect from the sendemail script (which is the one calling _finishSendEmail()) to the view script (which is the one calling _handleSendEmailTag()). Normally you wouldn't expect to be able to carry a query parameter across an HTTP redirect, but apparently TWiki has some "passthru" feature (the third argument to Func::redirectCgiQuery) which claims to be able to do that, by saving the parameters somehow locally. However, in this case it seems to be failing for us.

Ah, I found the problem. See TWikibug:Item7132 for a description and a patch.
