Question

I am running Cairo on Apache 1.3.33 on HP-UX 11.11, and using KoalaSkin (among other ones). A customer mentioned that the revision date at the lower left of the screen displays "r1.1 - Dec 31, 1969 - TwikiGuest" all the time. This string is the output from the TWiki variable %REVINFO%

My testing has discovered that:

• it is only the KoalaSkin; any other skin I care to use parses properly (that is, the identical URL with "?skin=koala" appended shows the bad info, "?skin=pattern" shows the correct datestamp and revision number for the document).
• it is only Koala's 'view' skin; "?skin=koalaprint" works as expected, and viewing diffs shows correct dates.
• it is only the skin's template itself; if I have a page whose content contains the string %REVINFO%, inside the body it displays correctly, and simultaneously in the footer it does not.
• it does not appear to be positional within the template - I have moved the variable to the top, inserted it into the sidebar, and so forth, and the resulting display is the same.

Any suggestions as to what I should look for? It seems like there's something about the parsing that's done exclusively by view.koala.tmpl, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it's doing that's causing this parse.

Answer

mmm, which version of KoalaSkin ? it does sound like a very strange issue though.

Per koalaskin-generate, version 3.1

You should report this in KoalaSkinDev, though I'm afraid the Koala skin isn't supported any more.
