Hi all,
When I subscribed to Wappler I fully appreciated there would be a steep learning curve. I’ve followed Ken’s excellent video series so I can begin familiarising myself with the interface and features. I’ve already learnt a lot, but there is a tonne of stuff left to go.
For the rest, I have been patiently trying to follow the official Wappler documentation. This is where the frustration begins. So far I think every single how-to I’ve read has been out-of-date. Either the text describing the steps, the images, and most of the time, both!
Creating a layout is fine but that’s where it stops. How to create the ‘contents’ page? By default the App Structure of the content page is set to ‘Body’. The how-to shows this used to be ‘App’. Trying to add components to Body does not give us the option to add Blocks. Just a limited set of elements.
When trying to adapt and learn a new tool it is vitally important the supporting documentation is kept up-to-date.
Can you please explain this more detailed?
There is no difference in creating a content page, even though the create page dialog can be styled differently in the newer versions, the content pages are created the same way.
I have got as far as creating the layout page and called it ‘main’, as per the documentation, just to keep things simple.
I’ve also created a new Content page, called dashboard
So I am now in Design View. As per design I can only see the Body of the page as the Main Layout will come from my layout file.
Now. How to select a Block to add to my Content page? Clicking on ‘Add New Component’ reveals a very limited set of Elements and there’s no option to add Blocks.
Hi. I have saved and closed the app completely.
Opened Wappler again and both old and new pages were still there. I deleted the unwanted old page and saved again. Now my app appears to be fine and I’m able to add new blocks and elements to my pages.
Thanks for your help Theodor.
My original question still stands though. Can anyone from Wappler confirm whether or not the documentation is going to be updated to reflect the current screens, menus, etc? Thanks.
