Cool! That solved my problem.
Thanks for the quick response Marcus.
I found it difficult in the documentation to figure out which tags are
nested inside which. It might be useful to have some kind of visual
indicator of how the tags should be nested, such as a vertical line, or a
tree view. Just displaying the closing tags for all start tags probably
would help to figure out where things start and finish.
I am running 0.7.4 -- I'll upgrade to the latest version. Is 0.7.6
available on the site? I see only 0.7.5b.
Next question: Do I have to define my users in the principals.xml file?
I'd like to leave them in a database table, and point Orion to look at that.
Can this be done?
Darren.
