Re: Witango-Talk: v5 studio with v4 server

[Dale Graham]

Until you migrate, you CAN use a text editor solution to the local/request scope thing. In our case, we use BBEdit (which can zip right through an entire folder) and do a global search and replace of "request" to "local" before deploying.

The only downside to this is that if you have text like "Request a copy of..." it gets changed to "local a copy of..." which looks pretty strange. I have these all changed to "Ask for a copy of..." now

(Ditto if you have any text remarks about local businesses, etc.)

just to add to what Robert said...

I would recommend only using Witango Studio 5 for
sites to be deployed on Witango Server 5.

As an example and I found out the hard way - if you
had an assign action with the scope set to local and
you open the taf with Witango 5 - even if you did not
go near the assign action when you save it will be
written out as 'request' and hence not work on your
Tango 2000 server.

I have not seen or heard any reasons to hold off (you
may have your own). Even for the sake of your T2k apps
the sooner the better...

Of course you should maintain version for version
usage. That's the
'supported' scenario. However, it is true that as
long as you do not use
any W5 specific tags, such as @EMAIL, @MAKEPATH,
etc. or any new W5
attributes in old tags, such as the recently
dicussed NULLTOKENS= in
@TOKENIZE, then files created in the 5 editor will
work on the 4 server.

Note: the 5 editor will default to the "request"
scope, which will be
created as a custom scope on a 4 server, and will
likely create some
rather unexpected results.

PS. W5 runs T2K apps just fine and is much more
stable then T2K. I
suggest that you don't hold off.

I seem to remember a statement the the v5 witango

studio creates tafs

that are incompatible with v4 server and with v4

studio, but I can not

find anything to confirm this.  I can open a v5

created taf with v4,

and visa versa.  We are running Witango 2000 sp1

for windows, and have

purchased the upgrade to V5, but want to hold off

until this summer to

implement.  Is there any reason not to use the v5

studio, however,

since it has some cool new features?

Thanks,
