Sorry by trying to include a code snippet last time I apparently blew-up the thread. So I will try again.
Hi has anyone managed to get Visual format editors on the same DCT to work with different .xml controller files?
We are using Teamsite 6.7.2 on Windows 2003 servers with clients mixed between Windows XP and Windows 2000.
If we have identical editors then things work but is we try to use different controller files so that there we can model different editor behaviour [different stylesheet, h1 tags allowed vs not allowed, ...] then we have a problem, especially with new form creation, where only one editor field gets populated.
Basically as long as you only edit one textarea per DCT editing session you are fine (only one editor invoked): just don't try to modify both of the text areas.
If both text areas use: textarea required="t" cols="66" rows="7" external-editor="visualformat" external-editor-config="servicecanada_internet_vfcfg.xml"
it works but if you set one to textarea required="t" cols="66" rows="7" external-editor="visualformat" external-editor-config="/iw/config/ei-ae_internet_breadcrumbs.xml"
to have different behaviour look-out.
If all the editors per DCT have to have the exact same features it really limits the usefulness. Is there a workaround for this?
