[opencms-dev] Upgrade to OpenCMS 10: Template questions

Wed Feb 1 11:49:25 CET 2017

Hi John,

your question has been not answered for ages. Sorry about that. I think 
the formatter configuration is the thing you were not aware about. You 
have a container of type "center". Configure your formatter to fit into 
containers of type "center". Then you should be able to place it in the 
container page using the template. If not, Either the schema or the 
formatter is incorrect. To evaluate this, try to add a content of the 
type via the explorer and try to edit it. It it works - schema is 
correct. To evaluate the formatter, just place <div>Hello</div> as 
formatter, put the content on the page (new content has to be edited to 
be stored), and then replace the formatter with the original version. 
The formatter will render - possibly showing an error.

Best, Daniel.
