[pmwiki-devel] Updating PTVs

[adam overton]

hi
i'm not sure i understand.
if you visit *right now* you'll see that the page has the ptv set to  
[[!Blem3]], and yet the pagelist lists nothing.

here's what i'm doing:

step 1:

pagelist says:
(:pagelist group=Test fmt=#simple-nolinks link=Category.Blem list=all :)

the ptv says:
(:myPtv: [[!Blem3]]:)

result: pagelist is emtpy


step 2:
change the ptv to
(:myPtv: [[!Blem]]:)
and publish/save...

result: the pagelist does not list any page (incorrect)


step 3:
edit the page again, but do nothing to the page, and click publish again

result: the pagelist lists the current page (correct)


it takes two saves to get the pagelist to update pages with link=


am i seeing things?
thx
adam
