Description

The configuration parameter user_form_disable is ignored in 1.7rc3.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add user_form_disable = ['name', 'aliasname', 'email',] to wikiconfig.py.

2. Restart wiki, check the display of the Settings:Preferences page.

Example

Partial html output of 1.7rc3 is:

                  <input type="text" name="name" value="RogerHaase" size="36"> (Use FirstnameLastname)
                </td>

Partial output of 1.6.3 is:

Discussion

Sorry, I can't reproduce it. For me, the 3 fields are disabled when I try this:

• using 1.7.current (almost identical with rc3)
• adding your user_form_disable to wikiconfig.py
• starting standalone server
• creating a user and logging in with it

• going to userprefs -> Preferences

• all 3 fields disabled

Hi RogerHaase

• can you please paste your wikiconfig or check if there is a wrong indenting used for that var. -- ReimarBauer 2008-06-16 05:19:59

Thanks, it was all my problem, no bug. While converting my ExternalCookie auth method to 1.7, which required changing from a method to a class, I accidently left the user_form_disable definition high in wikiconfig.py under the new ExternalCookie class definition. Moving the statement to its proper place fixed the problem. -- RogerHaase 2008-06-16 15:40:20
