[opencms-dev] [6b2]Can't see my page - help in troubleshooting

Sounds familiar to my first template experience :-)

What you need to know is that you enter using the editor is place in a 'container' which has a name. For templateOne it's called
'text1' for the first element (as those containers of text are called in the editor).

You have created a template and defined some elements for it? Did you set at least one of those elements as required in the
template properties? I've never followed the example that was included in b1, since I started using alpha2.. bit more figuring
things out myself in the good old days :)

It reads like you made a html page initially for templateOne and changed the template to your test one later on. That's perfectly
fine as long as you realize that template fetch the text they need to display from NAMED elements. So if you made a template with
elements named "*teste1 teste2 teste3" it won't have anything to display since you entered the content into an element called
'text1' :)

Does that help in understanding the possible cause/problem ??

You can select which element to view in the Editor itself btw. You can copy/past the content from one element to another that way
as well. (yes, Edit Control Code allows you to rename the element directly.. but that's a bit more advanced)
