Item14388: NatEditPlugin does not honor the ScriptSuffix setting, and doesn't accommodate short URLs.

The javascript is hardcoded for /rest/NatEditPlugin/... and fails on Windows or other platforms where the scripts have to be renamed to enable CGI.

-- GeorgeClark - 02 May 2017

System/NatEditPlugin/jquery.natedit.js:
 url = self.opts.scriptUrl+"/rest/JQueryPlugin/tmpl?topic="+self.opts.web+"."+self.opts.topic+"&load="+self.opts.toolbar;
 url: self.opts.scriptUrl + '/rest/NatEditPlugin/save', // SMELL: use this one for REST as long as the normal save can't cope with REST
 url: self.opts.scriptUrl + '/rest/NatEditPlugin/save', // SMELL: use this one for REST as long as the normal save can't cope with REST
 opts.url = self.opts.scriptUrl+"/rest/JQueryPlugin/tmpl?topic="+self.opts.web+"."+self.opts.topic+"&load=editdialog&name="+opts.name;
 url: self.opts.scriptUrl+"/rest/NatEditPlugin/attachments",

All of these (at least) need to support the ScriptSuffix setting.

Shouldn't they be using the base function foswiki.getScriptUrl = function(script, web, topic, params) provided by jquery.foswiki.js?

The simple fix - adding self.opts.scriptSuffix is easy enough. But in reviewing the code, it also doesn't take into account Short URLs. which means that on many sites, "view" requests are going to end up redirecting.

This really ought to be changed to use the jquery utility, getScripturl, which handles both Short URLs and ScriptSuffix.

Confirmed that the AjaxHelper used in the Link button is getting a 302 redirect on sites running short URls. The following patch seems to resolve the redirecting and probably fixes the script suffix.

A couple of more observations / issues

• The Insert attachment link, Web autofill requires FlexWebListPlugin
• Same dialog, the Topic autofill actually selects Topic.Web
• And the Attachment autofill searches for Web.Web.Topic - duplicating the web.

The above patch also fixes the web.web.topic - duplicated Web.

-- GeorgeClark - 02 May 2017

foswiki.getScriptUrl should be used like this:

foswiki.getScriptUrl("script", "web", "topic", {
 "param1": "value1",
 "param2": "value2",
 "param3": "value3"
});
