Item13885: PatternSkin should be backwards compatible to Foswiki 1.1
Priority: Normal
Current State: Closed
Released In: 2.1.0
Target Release: minor
Applies To: Extension
Component: PatternSkin
Branches: master Release02x00
There are several problems with the new
PatternSkin on Foswiki 1.1
- WebTopicCreator depends on 2.0 feature of including parameters on STARTSECTION
On Foswiki 1.1, the WebCreateNewTopicComponents and WebCreateNewTopicTemplate are not part of
PatternSkin. use a PREINSTALL exit to delete these files from the MANIFEST.
- It uses ENDSECTION where STOPSECTION would still continue to work. These are interchangeable, so no reason to use the new macro.
- It uses the %INCLUDE "TopicA, TopicB" list capability
The
INCLUDE feature can be avoided by shipping a pattern01x01 skin for the 4 templates using that feature.
