NatSkin does not show Web Buttons

Hi,

I try to install foswiki on our homepage to replace our old twiki. The install went fine without any bigger problems, but when i tried to use the NatSkin plugin the unusual behaviour started.

I configured the NatSkin with the NatSkinStyleBrowser and I could see every change immediately. The only thing that did not show are the Web Buttons to choose another Web. I can only see a light blue stripe from left to right. My SiteButtons, this is what i think the list of webs should come from, expand the FLEXWEBLIST to Main Sandbox System TWiki Test Trash. So it should use these to generate the buttons.

Or am i missing something here? Hopefully someone can give me a hint.

Thanks,

Markus

Hi Markus, as you can see on NatSkin, the version online isn't compatible with foswiki-1.0.x. This is work in progress on svn/trunk. Have a look at http://svn.foswiki.org/trunk/ to get a working set of plugins required to run NatSkin.

Hi Michael, i can only see the compatibility issue with the DBCachePlugin, which i have downgraded now. My installation says on the Mainpage: "This site is running Foswiki version Foswiki-1.1.2, Wed, 10 Nov 2010, build 9940, Plugin API version 2.1". The InstalledPlugin page tells me i have all needed plugins for NatSkin in a version above the minimal needed (according to the Dependencies on the NatSkin topic).

Do you mean i have to install newer plugins from the svn or do i have to use the NatSkin from the svn? Is there a way to see which plugin is used to generate the Website Buttons so i do not need to update every plugin in a trial and error process?

Thanks.

I also have the same problem, and am using Foswiki 1.0.9. , API version 2 We installed all plugins from svn manually (the install script is broken, anyway) , but the web buttons are still missing.

I have the same problem with 1.1.3. The quick fix I found is to go to templates/body.nat.tmpl and replace the line

%TMPL:DEF{"webbuttons"}%<div class="natWebButtonsContents natWebButtonsHidden">

with

%TMPL:DEF{"webbuttons"}%<div class="natWebButtonsContents">

The superfish stuff still doesn't work but at least it's better than nothing

This question is pretty old and concerns older version of Foswiki and NatSkin. In any case, JamesSpezeski did provide a quick fix for the referenced versions, so I'm closing this question.
