LiveSite:Components in a Template

Hi all

I am new to livesite, and trying to explore it.

Can we know that how many components have been placed on a template at the time of saving the template.

In another way i want to get the no of components present on the template at the time of saving,if yes then can we put an alert if the number of components is higher than a particular value?

Expecting A Quick Reply.

Thanks

Don't think this is possible from within preview as the components are rendered seperately there. What you can do for sure is show an error message on clicking the preview button (or previewing from TeamSite), as then the components are rendered together.
'Expecting a Quick Reply' - WTF?

At the moment there is no way and there is no logic to test for a maximum either (there were no requirements for it).

This can go in as a feature request.

I'ld say that generally the relation between components and layout is a pain in the *** as it is. Would be a lot more powerful if the component data/output were somewhat better accessible.

Those are the side-effects of WYSIWYG, there needs to be some isolation between components and layout to allow for correct layout between design and runtime.

Fair enough - but it would a major improvement if at least the component type was known. Any suggestions on how to do this at the moment?
