Question

After upgrading from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5, it looks like TwistyPlugin has stopped working. Twisties on pages link to "#" with no action. Just tried downloading and reinstalling the latest package from the plugin web, but no change in results.

Answer

The same problem has been mentioned in TwistyBehaviourProblem.

I can confirm the problems. A couple of incompatibilities have arisen between the release version of PatternSkin and the latest TwistyContrib and TwistyPlugin updates.

I have created an update zip for PatternSkin. Please visit the plugin topic for instructions.

In the meantime I've also updated TwistyContrib and TwistyPlugin to version 1.2. The pattern skin patch is still needed for this version.

Thank you Arthur. I saw your initial response there (about installing TwistyContrib) and assumed that wasn't the same issue, since I too had it installed, but it does indeed appear to be the same.

I just installed the TwistyContrib, TwistyPlugin, and PatternSkin update packages. Attachments now appear on each page, but there is no Twisty at all. I checked configure and ensured that TwistyPlugin is enabled; I tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin with no luck.

Also noted the same JS errors on the Main WebHome:

Error: Behaviour is not defined Source File: twiki/pub/TWiki/TwistyContrib/twist.js Line: 150 Error: Behaviour is not defined Source File: twiki/pub/TWiki/TwistyContrib/twist.compressed.js Line: 98 Error: TwistyPlugin has no properties Source File: twiki/bin/view/ Line: 206 Error: TwistyPlugin has no properties Source File: twiki/bin/view/ Line: 206 Error: TwistyPlugin has no properties Source File: twiki/bin/view/ Line: 207

Did you check the access permissions of the newly added files in the pub dir? I had to change it to 777 to make it work.

-- ArthurClemens - 01 Nov 2006

Yup: all that was fine. What wasn't fine was that (apparently) BehaviourContrib wasn't installed. I downloaded and installed that, and all is well again. Not sure why that wasn't there, but I don't think I would have removed it manually.

Thanks.

Every now and then, Twsty just... stops working,. Failure mode is that it looks like it should work, until you realize that the show and hide controls should not be side by side! Clicking produces no results.

I have reinstalled PatternSKin, reinstlalled BehaviourContrib, reinstalled Twisty. (Perhaps in the "wrong order"?) I have ensured that my entire TWiki tree has consistent permissions.

If you want to upgrade TwistyPlugin - or have upgraded already - please see UpgradingTwisty for an easy bundle upgrade package.
