Hey -
I figured out something about why I prefer modern syntax for wo
components and why the Component Editor in WOLips is so un-helpful
when I am editing old-style components. I have never, ever, ever seen
the wod contents in the same pane as the html when I edit a wo.
How is this happening? I would not be surprised, knowing me, if I set
some flag a long, long time ago that disabled or broke something. I
just cannot figure out what it is.
So, for example, if I open the ERNeutralLook framework project in
eclipse and open the ERNeutralLook.wo component, I see its html in the
top part of the resulting pane. In the bar in the middle of that pane,
I get flattened DOM structure of the selected element in the html. And
below that brown bar I see nothing. Well, in very faint letters,
basically white letters in a white background, I see "wod file is not
empty." But I do not see its contents. See the pic below. Why not?
I actually did not realize that I was supposed to see anything under
there until, on a whim, I watched Pascal's podcast on the component
editor. I mean, I thought I knew how to use the editor. Who knew.
Well, there is actually one time I see something in the bottom part.
If I click on one of the WO Element icons that appear in the toolbar
when one is editing a wo, then I see the wod contents for that element
in that lower half of the pane. But I have never actually used those
icons either. Typing "<wo:str .. " is just not that difficult.
So, how have I broken this? If I could double-click on a wo component
and actually see the wod contents, I might actually not have to click
on the wod in the 'Related' tab, get the content menu and open the wod
file in the text editor. That would be so wonderful. Anyone have
suggestions as to how I can make this work?
thanx - ray
So, where are the wod contents in this view?
