Do not use dynamic variables on a template page used with the Tracker plugin

posts: 214

I had a tracker keeping information on registered users. The logged in user could update the data in their tracker fields with a wiki page that used the Tracker plugin which specified a wiki template page.

TrackerPage {TRACKER(trackerId=1,view=user,fields=2:3,wiki=templatepage)}Your information has been saved.{TRACKER}

Everything was working fine until I added a dynamic variable to the template page, and then the "Save" button at the bottom of the page quit working. The Tracker plugin brought up the template page and everything looked fine, the dynamic variable displayed fine, and the users could enter data into the displayed tracker fields as before, but clicking on the "Save" button did nothing. When I removed the dynamic variable from the template page, the "Save" button started working again.

You can use dynamic variables on the page that has the Tracker plugin, just not in the template page the plugin uses.
