Yes, my question is how do you get the CNN WM to work? There are no instructions and no hint as to what URL I should be pointing to or what order the data should be included in. I cannot find the DK news skin in the library BTW. What did you name it?
I must say, TLB is a wonderful program and has great potential (otherwise I wouldn't have PAID for it) but the lack of documentation of plugins and skins and the sheer tedium of having to search through unrelated forum posts and FAQs could do it in.
E.G. - The thread on using WM skins in a menu and pulling data from 3-4 different sources was excellent, but so much was left up to the user to figure out on their own. (Like the fact that the URL structure from AWS was using a 2001 version of their website - which happily is still available.) I did get it to work and am quite happy with it, but it seems like everything in TLB takes hours of work to match the developers intent.
I've all but given up on the other DK stuff, which is a pity cause it looks so darn good. But without any kind of instructions they're useless to me.
Not a criticism as much as an observation; since I am a paying customer my intention is to see the S/W succeed and be continually developed. If I am missing something obvious, I'll gladly be the first to apologize but I have done a considerable amount of research...the info may be here but it's quite hard to find.
Thanks!
