Item771: # anchors link to the included topics' web . WebHome when included from another topic

while looking into Item750 i've found a further oddity if you INCLUDE{System.Macros}

MMMMM. # anchors are broken when done inside Includes - eg??

INCLUDE{Sandbox.IncludedTopicWithAnchorsAndLinks}

---

No permission to view IncludedTopicWithAnchorsAndLinks

---

the Anchor above is being directed to Sandbox WebHome #Anchor - not as one would expect, the # Anchor in this topic, or possible brokenly to the # Anchor in IncludedTopicWithAnchorsAndLinks

I think for now that means we'll have to cripple the [[VarY][Y]] by replacing the INCLUDINGTOPIC with BASETOPIC - so it works on System.Macro's but isn't totally broken if someone INCLUDE{System.Macro}'s

• replaceINCLUDING.patch: patch to work around anchor bug :/

The real situation is that the #MyAnchor links in an included topic works if the included topic is in the same web as the including topic.

But if the included topic is in another web the anchor link is a link to WebHome

That is a clean cut bug that should be fixed.

ah, excellent, thanks for pointing that out, we may well be able to just make a unit test for it and thus fix it

It looks a bit similar in effet to TWikibug:Item2209

The fix was TWikirev:10061. But it won't help us here

Pinpointed to _fixupIncludedTopic in Foswiki.pm.

Fixed by distro:4bf9f0e74929. It would be really nice to write a unit test checking this, but unit test with full formatting are still off target for me. Sven, if you have a minute...

I think you misunderstood how this feature is supposed to work.

When I have a topic with a relative Anchor link like [[#SomeAnchor][My anchor]] and I include this topic in a parent topic, I expect the relative link to point to the place of the anchor within the topic I view.

The fix you made makes the relative anchor link absolute and clicking it makes you end up in the included topic instead of the topic you are viewing.

Right. Sorry, my bad. Your view makes much more sense.

Fixed the code (one line change in fact), and added 2 unit tests (with anchor as #anchor, and as #WikiName).

Therefore, closing it.
