doc/bugs/cgi_does_not_use_templatedir_overlay.mdwn



I have set
 templatedir => "/srv/apache2/madduck.net/templates",

in ikiwiki.setup and put a custom page.tmpl in there, then called ikiwiki --setup and verified that it works. It even works when I push to the Git repo and let the receive-hook update the wiki.
However, when I make a change via the CGI (which has been created by the last setup run), it applies the default page.tmpl file to all pages it updates.

Hmm, I tried to reproduce this, but failed, my modified template was used
both during the --setup and for cgi edits.
Are you 100% sure that your ikiwiki.cgi is right? Try:
strings ikiwiki.cgi |grep templatedir
