Question

In our previous TWiki (V. 4.0.4) installation with "PatternSkin - 31 Jan 2006 (v2.0.0)" we liked the nifty button show/hide attachment which folds out/in the attachment-table. After updating to TWiki (V. 4.1.2) with "PatternSkin - 15 Jan 2006 (v2.0.6)" we don't see this button any more. How could one reactivate this nice show/hide-function respectively fold-out/in-function seen with "PatternSkin v2.0.0" ?

hehe. Your answer is sort of in your list of plugins.

I think you need to edit your patternskin templates to put the TwistyPlugin anchors back. unless ArthurClemens has added instructions on PatternSkin or can answer you question (maybe from onPlugins.PatternSkinDev ), I'd just compare the 2 releases of TWiki's template directory.

You need to update a couple add-ons:

• TwistyPlugin
• TwistyContrib
• BehaviourContrib

But after upgrading and installing those, it still does not show the twisty for the attachments. What more is there to it?

If you look in the file templates/attachtables.pattern.tmpl you should see a line

%TMPL:DEF{"topicattachmentwisty"}%%TWISTYSHOW

I can't find in template templates/attachtables.pattern.tmpl the line

%TMPL:DEF{"topicattachmentwisty"}%%TWISTYSHOW

To be sure that I have not a locally corrupted TWiki-version I downloaded the 4.1.2 distribution again from twiki.org http://twiki.org/p/pub/Codev/Release/TWiki-4.1.2.zip but even don't find it there

OK, just to confirm nothing else is causing the twisty to not appear.

At some point the twisty was removed because it ate performance on windows - on longer pages the display time of the page could run up to 20 seconds! I found a solution for BehaviourContrib, so with the updated contrib it should run fine now. You can use this template:

• attachtables.pattern.tmpl: attachtables template with twisty

Yes in 4.1.2 the feature was removed. It is actually clearly described in the release note. And it will be back in 4.2.0.

Thanks a lot Arthur, the new template works fine!!!

-- JoachimRahn - 24 May 2007

The template is included in the Twisty upgrade bundle. See UpgradingTwisty.
