MASSIVE progress. At least enough to prevent me from any immediate need to quit my job and become a tibetan monk.
In short (!?!?):
I went back and created a new framework (for my skin)
I copied the WSR from ERModernDefaultSkin into my new skin framework.
I added er.modern.look.skinframework = MySkin to my Properties file in the skin
I added the skin to my project.
I copied the user.d2wmodel file from ERModernMoviesDemo into my app (modifying it so it displayed my entities instead of movies)
I copied the Session from ERModernMoviesDemo into my app (making appropriate changes to the package etc)
I copied Application and DirectAction as well (even though my login probably won't use direct action when I get around to using it. Though I might. That's a future problem).
I copied the contents of PageWrapper into my own AdminPageWrapper (and changed the rule to have pageWrapperName point to it) - including wod and html
I replaced MenuHeader with the ERXNavigationMenu and added the navigationContext method from the MenuHeader class in ERModernMoviesDemo
I copied the NavigationMenu.plist from ERModernMoviesDemo into mine, and changed the entities appropriately (as far as I am able to tell).
Same problem. While searching for plane ticket prices to tibet, I got this message, and started (again) going through the steps and discovered that I had copied the wrong d2w.d2wmodel file into my skin.
Once I copied the one from the default look into my skin, it now WORKS!!!..... again, except for the tabs, which work, but do not look like tabs. I assume there is some config issue I am missing there too.
So, in light of that, I notice the rules file has rules which contain plural versions of the entities (apparently in the navigationState) instead of singular (which match the actual entity names). I assume my tab issue is there somewhere. I thought I changed it to match it up, but I'm a bit confused by what is simply a label for the tab, and which is supposed to be entity names, and which I need to change. I'll keep plugging.
Thanks again (even when this time it was mainly just telling me to step back and look again step by step)

OK, I just redid everything,
Can you tell us what steps this means?
