[opencms-dev] Newbie problem with OpenCMS - New Content Disapears

[Dr. John A. Kassebaum PhD, PE]

Hi Lorenz,

I am actually merely trying to get an initial setup running - so I was trying to create a basicPage.jsp that was based on the grid-demo-page.jsp from the bootstrap formatters module. Then - editing - I try to add bootstrap content types to the page. I add a Template Row, then I add a Layout Column, then back to default  and add a text box. The page info show the XML content to be present. but then, when I view the page from another tab - or refresh the tab I’m editing in - the 'page info’ xml content remains the same, but the newly added text box vanishes from the rendered page. 

I’m sure I must be dong something wrong - but I have not yet gotten far enough to create my own content types. That is next.

Thanks and best regards,
-John

P.S. Thanks for aiming me at /webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/logs/oipencms.log - I’ll take a look!

I am able to add content to it - but, if I refresh the page after adding content, all of that newly added content becomes invisible. I can still see the record of the info in the Page Info (xml content) - but the produced page HTML does not include rendering of the content. I have not created any of my own formatters and/or content types, and am using the content type from the bootstrap modules as a starting point.
