[pmwiki-users] ?action=rename doesn't work

[Joachim Durchholz]

Hi all,

I have installed the rename.php script from 
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RenamePage .

The rename action page does come up as it should. However, after 
changing the page and clicking "Rename", all I get is the Wiki's default 
page.

Some debugging sessions later, I found that the postrename action 
defined in the rename.php script isn't called. The "Rename" button calls 
the $ScriptURL allright, with all the appropriate POST parameters, but 
somehow pmwiki.php doesn't execute the action that should be triggered.

I'm pretty sure that pmwiki.php is called with invalid parameters, but I 
don't know what that SDV function really does and how it should be 
called, so I can't fix the problem.

Here's what the "Rename" button does (as gleaned from the HTML generated 
for it):
It sends a POST request to $ScriptUrl (with no parameters - not sure 
whether that's right), with the following POST variables set:
   action = postrename
   n = $FullName
   renametext = new text as entered
   group = new group as picked from the drop-down list

Anybody got an idea what's going wrong here?

Regards,
Jo
