Meteor's accounts-ui-bootstrap-3 {{loginButtons}} not displaying

Nyxynyx picture Nyxynyx · Nov 22, 2013 · Viewed 7.9k times · Source

After installing bootstrap-3 and accounts-ui-bootstrap-3, the ui-accounts login widget did not appear when {{ loginButtons }} is used. Instead a <div> is found in its place but no widget is visible.

Are there additional steps that is missing for the widget to be displayed?

Adding Bootstrap 3 packages

mrt add bootstrap-3
mrt add accounts-ui-bootstrap-3

main.html

<body>
  {{> header}}
</body>

<template name="header">
    <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-inverse" role="navigation">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                </button>
                <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">My Bootstrap 3 App</a>
            </div>
            <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
                <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                    <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                    <li>{{ loginButtons }}</li>
                </ul>
            </div><!-- /.nav-collapse -->
        </div><!-- /.container -->
    </div>
</template>

Output of {{ loginButtons}}

<div id="login-buttons" class="login-buttons-dropdown-align-right"></div>

To whoever finds this and wonders why this is happening, the solution is pretty simple. Just remove the standard accounts-ui package from meteor by typing meteor remove accounts-ui. Apparently the standard package overrides the CSS classes of the bootstrap-3 styled accounts ui.
