      There appears to be a thread about this at:

      I do not have an immediate answer to this question. You should probably post it in the WCM forum.

        thank you very much. I figured it out. Under shared settings I was connecting to sitearea instead of content. Once I conntected to content it worked. Its great. Will you be doing any more demos like this in future?

          I'm glad you figured it out. I'm on a project doing a normal J2EE web app for like a year right now, so I will not be playing with WCM much anytime soon. So...it is unlikely that I can find the time to do any new videos. Sorry. But if you get in a jam and need a hand, email me at info@burlesontech.com. I will be happy to lend a hand if time permits.
