texte = Hi, we have noticed that a few people have had trouble with some of theirWebDNA templates when upgrading to WebCatalog 3.x. The symptom is that thepage shows up either blank or halfway filled-out, stopping for no apparentreason. The problem stems from the new [Text] context, because some peoplealready have a field named text in their databases. This conflicts withthe context of the same name. Similar things arose when we added the [URL]context in 2.xSolution: rename any database fields that are named text, url, etc.(basically you shouldn't use any fieldnames that WebCatalog already usesfor context names).Problem:[search db=xx.db][founditems] [text] <-- this used to work, but now WebCatalog thinks it's meant <-- to be [text]SomeVariable=Some Words[/text], so it prints <-- an error message saying it can't find the ending [/text][/founditems][/search]Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ====Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant,11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster,San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
