Hi Achim,
Thanks. I do agree with you about the value of working samples - if I have
one of those I can modify it one character at a time (;-) in the direction
of my non-working code and see where it stops working. For example if it
stops working the moment I use a urlPattern which was registered by a WAB
instead of via Whiteboard then I will know where the problem lies ...
I feel your pain when it comes to wiki formatting - having had to use
several of these systems I have come to detest the whole race and all
their {{{stupid}}} --tagging-- [!systems]. But you do need to have a bit
of text online somehow which clearly relates the user's problem to the
samples you posted, otherwise they will never find it. Maybe in the future
Google will find this correspondence on Nabble, to the edification of
future generations.
Best regards,
Chris
