Correctly Defined Properties and Component Tags
The Pollstar100 WCM is not big on error messages. In fact there are none. It is important therefore to ensure that:
| · | All Property Values are enclosed in quotes within the Custom XML file.
|
| · | All external pathnames and URLs are in the same case as they are on the webserver.
|
| · | All Property and Tag Names are spelled correctly (why not copy and paste to be sure).
|
Also note: The Pollstar100 Client ignores the case of all Pollstar100 related key-words such as Component Tag names(although the case of any closing tag MUST match the case of the corresponding opening tag), Property names and other internal values.
For example, the following is acceptable:
