Description

In Moin 1,7, Templates are not appearing in the 'create new page' dialog. Instead all I see is a list of 'similar' pages on the right (the left side is totally empty) - see the attached screenshot (sorry for the extreme cropping!). This used to work fine in 1.6.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a page called MyTemplate

2. create it and you'll see no existing templates appear in the list

3. create page MyPage

4. MyTemplate will not appear

Discussion

Click on MyTemplate and you can see that there are a plenty of templates. So it's not a MoinMoinBug, more a wrong config / accessrights on your side.

maybe check your wikiconfig/farmconfig for  page_template_regex = ur'(?P<all>(?P<key>\S+)Template)'  and proof that your moinmoin server has access (read/write) rights for your underlay directory.

Migration from 1.6 to 1.7 requires a change to wikiconfig

Thank you. Yes, you are right. The bit that was missing was that I didn't know that I had to change the xxx_regex variables in the config file because the standard format seems to have changed from 1.6 to 1.7.

old 1.6 format:

    page_template_regex = u'[a-z]Template$'

new 1.7 format:

    page_template_regex = ur'(?P<all>(?P<key>\S+)Template)'

It would be nice if the migration script detected parts of the wiki config file that require updating (or at least printed a warning message to check any revised config options). Also, it should be documented in the README.migration (maybe it is already, bit I didn't notice it?)

- Thanks again

README.migration only deals with migrating your old data, it is not about config changes. You just have to read docs/CHANGES.
