This question about Not sure...: Answered
WebCreateNewTopic
It appears the script for suggesting
WikiWords for a Topic in
WebCreateNewTopic is broken on my installation. When I try to create a topic, the span element "webTopicCreatorFeedback" does not give any output and subsequently the submit button remains deactivated. When using an Skin withought
WikiWord generation, I can create the new topic as expected.
I first noticed tihs problem after installing a handful of plugins, namely
ChartPlugin,
DirectedGraphPlugin,
DirectedGraphWebMapPlugin,
EditTablePlugin,
FlowchartPlugin,
MetaCommentPlugin and
MsOfficeAttachmentsAsHTMLPlugin, but I can't be sure whether this is more than a correlation, since I don't frequently use
WebCreateNewTopic, and disabling those plugins doesn't solve the problem either.
There are no warnings or errors stated in configure, nor are there error log entries. I don't know where to look for the problem (where the code responsible for
WikiWord generation is located).
Your help would be much appreciated.

Ok, Problem solved. There was a function call to the non-existing function String.trimSpaces in foswikiString.js.
This was apparently due to the javascript libraries being from an older versions of Foswiki than the
WebCreateNewTopicTeplate.
How that happened I have no idea, maybe a broken update. However, an update to 1.13 fixed the issue.
Hope this helps anyone facing similar issues.
Kind regards
