Re: [Eclass-users] New EClass.Builder 2.5b4 available for download

Hi Kevino,

A few issues/suggestions/problems I have with 2.5b4.

I have not been able to get system preferences to open. (win2k machine)

In the tutorial, you need to explain the difference between templates =
and
themes. I think I understand the difference as a theme is an overarching
project layout, while a template is a page design. True?

When I open page properties, I can only choose the default template, I =
have
others in the template directory. I would like to be able to choose =
others from there without
renaming it to default every time..

Under the Help menu, in the About section, you should list the version =
of
Eclass.

Is there a compatibility problem with previous versions of Eclass? If =
so, you
need some explanation on how to import them, or what files to delete to =
use
them with the new version.

I just tried the Karrigell.exe file on an eclass created in 2.5b4 and it
ran. However, it couldn't display the page. I ran the index.htm file
separately, it has problems displaying the top left frame (menu.htm) and =
the
bottom left frame (menucntrl.htm) The main Frame shows up fine. After I
copied them in(from a previous Version), it worked. However the menu
graphics were gone, I then copied them in. Everything appeared, but the
Karrigell

---Little bit later---

I figured out the problem with the Karrigell.exe file. I opened it up in
notepad and noticed it points to index.html. Eclass builder uses =
index.htm.
It is funny and very frustrating how a single character can screw you =
up. It works fine after I rename the index file.

The search function does not work...neither search.py nor search.exe.

When I added text to a page, it did not display even after I published. =
I open the page to edit it, and it is there, so it saved the setting, it =
just doesn't output. Same thing happens with Audio/video/image.

---Little bit later, again----

The problem with the displaying of the text/image/audio/video is the =
template. I copied and renamed an old one to default.tpl and it worked =
fine and everything showed up.

I guess that is enough for now. I have uploaded the errlog.txt to=20

BJ
