>
>

topicparent The parent topic of the new user profile page {UsersTopicName} configure setting

Note: The register script can only be called via http POST method, not GET. Make sure to specify the "post" method if you call the register script via a form action.

Line: 373 to 373

`filecomment`	Comment to associate with file in attachment table
`createlink`	if defined, will create a link to file at end of topic

>

updatefield If defined and if the value matches the name of a form field, it will update that form field with the name of the uploaded file.

You can use a tool like curl to upload files from the command line using this script.

Line: 391 to 392

`contenttype`	Allows you to specify a different Content-Type: (e.g. `contenttype=text/plain`)
`rev`	Revision to view (e.g. `rev=45`)
`template`	Allows you to specify a different skin template, overriding the 'view' template the view script would normally use. The default template is `view`. For example, you could specify /twikipublic/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts?template=edit. This is mainly useful when you have specialised templates for a TWiki Application.

Changed:

<
<

topic redirects (at the beging of the cgi script running) to show the spcified Web.Topic, or, redirects to a URL, if allowed by {AllowRedirectUrl} and {PermittedRedirectHostUrls} configure settings

>
>

`topic`	redirects to show the specified Web.Topic, or, redirects to a URL, if allowed by `{AllowRedirectUrl}` and `{PermittedRedirectHostUrls}` configure settings
`createifnotexist`	If `createifnotexist` is set to `1` and in case the topic does not exist, it is created automatically on view. Useful to create topics automatically based on a specific template (see example below). Behind the scene, the `view` script redirects first to the `save` script, passing along all URL parameters. Thus all URL parameters of the `save` script can be used, such as `templatetopic`, `topicparent` and `redirectto`. Next, the `save` script creates the topic and redirects back to the `view` script (or displays an error in case there were any issues creating the topic).

Changed:

<
< For historical reasons, the view script has a special interpretation of the text skin. In earlier TWiki versions the skin=text parameter was used like this:

>
>

Example use of createifnotexist to link to the bookmark page of a user, and to create the page on the fly if needed:

[[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%USERSWEB%/%WIKINAME%Bookmarks?createifnotexist=1&amp;templatetopic=%SYSTEMWEB%.UserBookmarksTemplate&amp;topicparent=%WIKINAME%][Bookmarks]]

For historical reasons, the view script has a special interpretation of the text skin. In earlier TWiki versions the skin=text parameter was used like this:

http://.../view/MyWeb/MyTopic?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain&raw=on which shows the topic as plain text; useful for those who want to download plain text for the topic. Using skin=text this way is DEPRECATED, use raw=text instead.
