question reedit bug

  • retag add tags

I found some unusual when re-editting a question. After clicking the re-edit button, a new page with a <select> will show, and in this <select> list, it contains all the revisions, assuming I have only one history version,the <select> list will have only one version. but I want edit the second version. and when I edit the question, this question have 2 versions and when I edit it for the third time, the second history revision's title and tags shows the first revision's title and tags. In the database table askbot_postrevison, the question's title and tags is really the last one's tags and title. If it is a bug? and how to fix it?


after debug the source code. I found something wrong.

in the post.py source file, about 2085 lines, a function named apply_edit(self, *args, **kwargs) is the main code of question revision. it annotation says "the question apply edit function is backwards:" and the __apply_edit() use the thread title and tagnames but the new text.

it seems not a bug, but I don't know the reason. If you review the askbot.models.post.py about 2132 lines, the function _question__add_revision(), it returns a PostRevision instance, and the parameters title and tagnames from self.thread. so the new edit version's title and

It seems you didn't finish your last sentence. Also, don't write in bold face.
