can not change state

We are moving from Twiki to Foswiki. Our site is running Foswiki version Foswiki-1.0.5, Sat, 25 Apr 2009, build 3705, Plugin API version 2.0

We could not change state of topics controlled by ApprovalPlugin. (They did work in Twiki.)

I tried the ControlledTopicExample and also failed to change state (I clicked the "Send for Review" button and nothing happed).

Please refer to the attached log file

I found a warning:

2009-05-16T03:36:45Z warning | Undefined subroutine &Fowiki::Func::getScriptUrl called at /var/www/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/ApprovalPlugin.pm line 317.

the released code has error: Fowiki should be Foswiki. Is there an updated code for this?

fixed and re-released as part of Tasks.Item1628.

thanks for the bug report!

I've upgrade to the new release, but still not work in my environment.

I have added some debug info into ApprovalPlugin.pm. After click 'send for review' button in ControlledTopicExample, it always returned at this line in beforeCommonTagsHandler     return

      unless ( $qState = $query->param('APPROVALSTATE')

        and $qAction = $query->param('APPROVALACTION') );

could you please give me some directions to further debug it?

I finally get it work on my installation by changing the form method from post to get.

Are you sure? POST is really a super-set of GET, and GET is filtered for anything other than view. It seems unlikely to me that GET would ever make something work that didn't work with POST.

I tried again 'post',it did not work as described. I believe this is probabily my installation problem, maybe my cgi failed with post method. If you can give me some directions, I will be happy to try and test it.
