Bitweaver allows creation of wiki pages (and possibly other content) with
leading and/or trailing spaces in their names.
I'm not sure if this is an oversight or the way its intended to work.
Depending on how your database does lookups, the processing of these names
may vary.
Also the tikiwiki format parser doesn't allow you to recognize links of the
form:
((page name ))
where where are spaces after the name, but you can create these pages using
the "page create" menu choice, and
possibly other ways.

I discovered this problem when writing a utility to rebuild the wiki
backlinks table and
pages with tailing spaces caused bitweaver to crash due to a duplicate key
error.

We could:

silently trim leading/trailing spaces before creating the pages
or reject creation of page names with leading/trailing spaces
or leave as it currently is

I'm inclined to do the first choice, automatically trim page names before
creating them.
Might also be a good idea to check in the verify functions to verify the
names are in correct format.

Thoughts?

Yes, I agree. All input type=text fields should be trimmed.

What is a correct format name?

Sorry, I meant the input values in the correct format.

Seconded
I was looking to see if it could be applied at the ADOdb level anyway, the
contact and nlpg packages I have working here need that timing everywhere ;)
