texte = Hi, we have noticed that a few people have had trouble with some of their WebDNA templates when upgrading to WebCatalog 3.x. The symptom is that the page shows up either blank or halfway filled-out, stopping for no apparent reason. The problem stems from the new [Text] context, because some people already have a field named text in their databases. This conflicts with the 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 uses for 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 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
