Wirehose is definitely very hard to get one's head around.

I have used it in one project and the learning curve was steep, and I am still sliding up and down it. There are a lot of files to be edited/created etc. just to make sure a component appears where you expect it. And the support is sporadic at best.

However, it does do what it says it does, is very complicated to learn, I am still learning about it, and would have ho idea how Wonder could fit with it.

OK -- for this new project I have been convinced and will go back to WOComponentContent method. It was a brief intellectually failed exercise.

Hi, Anjo,

This model work great when the wrapper is mostly static, or doesn't interact directly with the actual content shown.

For these things, there is Wonder's ERXWOTemplate and ERXWOComponentContent. It kind of makes your head explode when you use it first, but with these you can have multiple component contents in your wrapper that get filled out by designated areas in the "real" page.

That's awesome! You're going to move me to being a Wonder user yet, Anjo.

I actually downloaded the latest version and started looking through the code. Haven't gotten far yet; work related tasks consume so much of my free time. :-)

In the same vein, if one is going to take the time and trouble to learn and integrate the Wonder frameworks, they might also take a look at the WireHose frameworks in which skinning can be done completely auto-magically.

Gary Teter has done an incredible job dealing with the issues of creating web portals. On the other hand, Wonder is free and WireHose is proprietary, but the latter comes with documentation and awesome tech support.

Regards,
Jerry
