Its been removed from the marketplace.

If you activate the new SiteBuilder module it will disable all the old modules when the integrity check runs.

The modules are not deleted though, just deactivated. turning off the new sitebuilder module and activating the old modules will get back the previous structure.

Perhaps a good time to give the new version of Site Builder a go? Not sure what the issue could be. You mean the tab does not show up on the interface for profiles that are allowed to use it?

I just did ken's the other day and it all seamed to go smoothly, I think your's is the only skin still using the old site builder now.

If you you want to send me your skin I can try it here as a pre-run to see if I see anything glaringly obvious.

POINT: If you've tried before and reverted to the old system, then its possible that there is data in the new sitebuilder's datastore. The import is only meant to be run once, so empty the tables:

jr_jrsitebuilder_menu
jr_jrsitebuilder_page
jr_jrsitebuilder_widget

via the ACP -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> DATABASE ADMIN -> (check those three tables) -> truncate

That will drop any new sitebuilder stuff before running the integrity check.

I'm still on the old one as I had a nightmare, too. I've been out of the loop for the last 4 months moving onto a boat, but I get my broadband back on Jan 5. Perhaps I should give it a go, then?

Soaring, did you manage to upgrade successfully?

Moving on to a boat sounds nice.

As changes are made to the system, changes will be made to the ningja skin. Keeping the newest version of ningja stable with an old version of sitebuilder will not have been kept in mind.

As far as I'm aware there are no data issues upgrading from the previous version of site builder to the current one, there may however be css class changes that will need to be made in the skin to make it look correct.

that is mostly true however there were some structural changes that make fixing it solely with css not an easy option

i just took on a big upgrade project for a freinds site so i can Afford this
NIKON P900 Zoom Quality test v Telescopes THE COMPETITION Its a NO brainer
as soon as i got that done i will try again to manage a sb/ningja upgrade
