See, now this is more like what I was expecting. Unfortunately, for
whatever reason, I don't get any of that on my install of Interchange
here. Once I go the "Options" tab, it says "Select option type and/or
enable options", and then the following list with radio buttons:
No Options
Simple Options
Matrix Options, one widget
Matrix Options, separate widgets
Modular Options
There is also an "Update" button. I can click whatever I want for
a radio button, and then click "update", and as far as I can tell,
nothing ever happens. There is no option to enter name/label/etc.
Anyone have any help they can offer?
Thanks,
