[pmwiki-users] fox permissions problem after upgrade

still haven't figured out the problem, but here are some updates that might help narrow the cause:

* i'm using 3 input-selects for the yearmonthday that should results in Group.YYYYMMDD
* my fox target={$$year}{$$month}{$$day}
* i've confirmed that when this target is hardcoded with a value like 20130115, the fox comment works as expected -> Group.YYYYMMDD is created, with the appropriate template used, etc. this suggests to me that the YYYYMMDD from the input-select-boxes aren't reaching Fox, and so no page is being created.
* i'm using a foxfilter on the page that checks the date for problems. i've done some debugging and that filter is working exactly as expected, and indeed the year, month, and day are getting into Fox exactly as expected. ($fields["year"] = $matches[1], $fields["month"], $fields["day"] all have the correct values).

beyond that i'm not sure what to do.
at this point it does NOT seem like a FoxPagePermissions issue.
could it be there's something different or changed with how (:input select … :) works now? or how Fox processes variables like {$$year}? here's my main fox code:

(:fox cbox put=bottom template=FoxTemplates.FoxEventTemplate target={$$year}{$$month}{$$day} redirect={*$Group}/{*$PagenameNoSuffix}{$commentAnchor} cancelredirect={*$Group}/{*$PagenameNoSuffix}{$commentAnchor}:)


any other ideas for what might be going wrong?
thanks again for the help.
best
adam
