[opencms-dev] Webform error and missing ADE mode

[Yves Glodt]

I have to add information to this thread:

In fact the WebForm module v1.4.1 works with OpenCms 8.5.1, apart of the
file upload element.

If I add one to a form, it simply does not show up in the generated html.
There is nothing in the logs.

Any idea what could be wrong ?

p.s.
I have a site build with a legacy template which I can not convert to
containerpages, that's why I am forced to use the 1.4.1 webform module.
