I note that this is still not fixed (using the test page at http://sandbox.wikidot.com/show-templates). Surely it can't take this long to make the changes. If it were complex, I could understand, but this should take, literally, 30 seconds to modify the two lines of code in the three places required, and it would be done.

Sorry for long inactivity from us, we're working on it now.

 {foreach from=$templates item=template} <option value="{$template->getPageId()}">{$template->getTitleOrUnixName()|escape}</option> {/foreach} </select> {/if} <input type="submit" class="button" value="{if $button}{$button|escape}{else}{t}create page{/t}{/if}" style="margin: 1px"/> {if $categoryName} <input type="hidden" name="categoryName" value="{$categoryName}"/> {/if} {if $template} <input type="hidden" name="template" value="{$template->getPageId()}"/> 

A solution would be to use a different variable name in the foreach loop instead of template, e.g. templateoption.

 <form action="dummy.html" method="get" onsubmit="WIKIDOT.modules.NewPageHelperModule.listeners.create(event)"> <input class="text" name="pageName" type="text" size="30" maxlength="60" style="margin: 1px"/> <select name="template" style="margin: 1px"> <option value="" selected="selected">-- Select a template --</option> <option value="254926">Cat1</option> <option value="294735">Breads</option> <option value="294768">Wines</option> <option value="5848">Rateit</option> </select> <input type="submit" class="button" value="create page" style="margin: 1px"/> <input type="hidden" name="template" value="5848"/> </form> 

Note that there are two form fields with the name "template": there's the select list and the hidden field. The hidden field is specifying the templateId for the last template in the list (Rateit), and over-rides any choice made by the user in the select list. The hidden field is normally used when there is a single template, pre-specified in the NewPage module, but should not be included when there are multiple templates.

The problem still happens with two templates, but it doesn't happen with one template, i.e. this works fine:

 [[module NewPage template="template:blah"]] 

but this does not:

 [[module NewPage template="template:blah, template:blah2"]] 

In fact, after a bit of experimenting, it seems that if you provide multiple templates in the list, the last template is always the one used, no matter which one is chosen. (It doesn't matter whether there is a space after the comma or not.)

I've confirmed this using both Firefox 2 and IE 7.

If anyone else wants to test this, and assuming it's still there, I've got a scratch page up on the sandbox for this at http://sandbox.wikidot.com/show-templates
