Main.WikiUsers blank (completely empty) when using VIEW_TEMPLATE = LdapWikiUsersView

Hello,

on my Foswiki I installed LdapNgPlugin together with LdapContrib to integrate LDAP. LDAP basically works, i.e., users are authorized according to LDAP login credentials, LDAP groups can be used to specifiy access and %LDAPUSERS{limit="1000"}% outputs a long list of users.

However, WikiUsers is not created/maintained if LdapContrib is used, but I'd like a list of WikiUsers. So I followed the instructions on LdapNgPlugin that state that to display an according list of all WikiUsers, LdapNgPlugin comes with a view template that you have to apply to the WikiUsers topic by adding

   * Set VIEW_TEMPLATE = LdapWikiUsersView

I added it to WikiUsers and now when viewing WikiUsers, a blank page is returned. I mean completely blank, not even and controls or links. The page source consists of "".

Why is this and how do I debug this?

My first guess is simply that you need to include the web reference for the view template.

   * Set VIEW_TEMPLATE = %SYSTEMWEB%.LdapWikiUsersView

Lynwood, Thanks for your answer. Sadly, it did not resolve the issue. The "/bin/view/Main/WikiUsers" page still renders as completely empty.

Any other ideas how to debug this issue?

Danny - one thing I didn't check is if you're using either AutoTemplatePlugin or AutoViewTemplatePlugin (probably the former if you're using NatSkin). If so, the view template for WikiUsers is specified in configure under that plugin's settings and iir, there's an option to allow (or not) local setting of view template to override that. Check on that and let me know.
