numero = 34011
interpreted = N
texte = SM, here are the facts:Webcat 3 functions properly when spaces appear in db field names, but Webcat 4 *fails* when trying to [interpret] database tags with spaces in their names. I specifically asked when we could expect this to be fixed because:1- There's nothing in the version 4.0 docs to suggest that we can no longer use spaces in our db field names. If you're going to make this a new limitation of the webdna language, it needs to be properly documented.2- This bug makes webcat 4 *incompatible* with pre-existing webcat 3 sites that have spaces in their field names. Of course, for those who plan to upgrade, this gives them a reason not to, since it can easily cause pre-existing version 3 sites to fail after upgrading to version 4.Will you please tell us your plans and/or intentions for dealing with this bug? ================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
