Description

The editor-help section of the page-editor is not updated in cache when the url_prefix variable is changed in wikiconfig.py. The result is a broken link to idea.png.

Steps to reproduce

(assuming your wiki has been used before, i.e. pages have been edited and the cache exists)

1. edit your wikiconfig.py and change url_prefix to something non-existant

2. open your wiki in a browser (maybe hit reload to be sure). because of missing stylesheets, it will look pretty broken
3. edit a page of your choice anyway

4. notice the still existing idea.png image in the editor-help section

5. check the location it points to and find out that it's still the old (working) prefix

or, alternatively:

1. delete your wiki's cache or set up a new wiki

2. set url_prefix to something non-existant

3. open a wikipage of your choice in edit-mode

4. restore url_prefix to the original (working) value

5. open a page in edit-mode again

6. notice that everything will look fine - except that there's no idea.png

Example

Workaround

Discussion

Duplication of MoinMoinBugs/CacheFileRecordsOldUrl

Thats the behaviour of cache. You have to remove it if you change the url prefix. e.g. moin --config-dir=/usr/share/moin/mywiki  --wiki-url=localhost/mywiki  maint cleancache
