Hi Andreas!
Hope you had a good weekend!
It was not a browser cache problem, but indeed, I was using the root
site and not the microsite folder when previewing content. I didn't
retest it yet though.
I am wondering, why does it make a difference (it is fine if it does and
if it is properly documented, but this is, IMHO, not something natural
for a non OpenCms expert) ?
also, do you have somewhere in the documentation an explanation of all
the properties and their effect on the Template one demo?
Keep on the good work!
Thanks,
Patrick
