DatabasePlugin

Issues encountered installing DatabasePlugin on TWiki 4.1.2.

  • 1) Could not install through configure -> FindMoreExtensions
    as Plugins/DatabasePlugin is not tagged as TestedOnTWiki 4.x
    so the regex on Plugins/FastReport does not find it;
      name=\"TestedOnTWiki\"[^}]*[456789][.][0-9]"
    also what is that "[.]" doing - should that not be "\." instead? As in
      name=\"TestedOnTWiki\"[^}]*[456789]\.[0-9]"
    Downloaded and installed the old way.
    Impact: Minor.
    Actions:
    • Test DatabasePlugin on TWiki 4.x and mark it as tested
    • Correct the regex on FastReport as it will currently match "TestedOnTWiki 1999"

  • 2) Had to tweak the ./lib/TWiki/Configure/TWikiCfg.pm to get ./view/configure to show all sections from ./lib/TWiki/Plugins/DatabasePlugin/Config.spec
    in
      sub _parse
    commented out
      # last if ($sectionNum && !$haveLSC);
    Not sure what the implications are.
    Impact: Major? - I think this affects all configurable Plugins that use multiple sections.
    Actions:
    • Implement suggested fix?

  • 3) There was no ./bin/DatabasePluginEdit file so I had to grab one from an old release and tweak it (attached).
    This file could probably do with a bit of tidying up.
    Impact: Minor - only affects DatabasePlugin Edit functionality.
    Actions:
    • Tidy up DatabasePluginEdit and include it in the plugin zip.

  • 4) Had to tweak the ./lib/TWiki/Plugins/DatabasePlugin/DATABASE_EDIT.pm to get the right field for database name.
    Changed
      my $database = $dbinfo->{name}
    to
      my $database = $dbinfo->{database};
    Impact: Minor - only affects DatabasePlugin Edit functionality.
    Actions:
    • Implement suggested fix.

Thanks Thomas.

  • Yes, there are known problems with older versions of TWikiCfg.pm. Work in progress. (2) is already fixed in subversion.
  • (3) I removed the DatabaseEdit script because it is specific to mySql, and needed a lot of work. it should not be part of the release until someone has put a lot of work into it
  • I fixed (4).
  • And (5)
I'm closing this now; the issue with the edit script deserves a report of it's own.
