I'm having trouble getting my display method to fire. For a given custom
rule, say 'ruleNTPSidebar', or <applicationName>/rules/ruleNTPSidebar.cfc, I have a
corresponding display method in <applicationName>/webskin/NTPSidebar. The file is
named
displayTeaserNTPSidebar.cfm.
My problem: the rule shows up, and I can add it to my container, update
the content, etc. However, the display method isn't being called.
The rule:
// CODE -------------------------------------------------
