Item8689: User form issue on foswiki.org

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Waiting for Feedback	Web Site		Main.WillNorris

The user form appears to be based on PersonalInfoAddOn though I don't see it installed as a contrib.

However I don't appear to be able to update the comment field in my User Topic, though I appear to have ALLOWTOPICCHANGE access set.

When using the edit button below the form in the topic, the comment field is not editable but shows

<input type='text' name='Comment' id='Comment' class='foswikiInputField' size='40' value='Running Foswiki 1.0.7 on Debian/VMWare ESXi, and MacOSX? 10.5 ' />

I can't in fact edit my topic page. And if I view the raw topic, and then click edit on the form, I also get a permission error.

for some reason, your topic contained:

%<nop>META:PREFERENCE{name="ALLOWTOPICCHANGE" title="ALLOWTOPICCHANGE" type="Set" value="%25WIKIUSERNAME%25"}%

which i changed %25WIKIUSERNAME%25 to CraigBowers, so it should work now. any idea how it go into that state?

addendum: forgetting a <nop> in this line caused it to get sucked into the actual META:PREFERENCE area %META:PREFERENCE{name="ALLOWTOPICCHANGE" title="ALLOWTOPICCHANGE" type="Set" value="%25WIKIUSERNAME%25"}%

No idea at all. But I still can't either edit the topic, or the comment field using the "edit data" link. The comment field is not an editable field but instead shows:

<input type='text' name='Comment' id='Comment' class='foswikiInputField' size='40' value='Running Foswiki 1.0.7 on Debian/VMWare ESXi, and MacOSX? 10.5 ' />
