CMS getting started

Hello
I am trying to get cms working but having some problems!
I have the database generated OK with twelve tables.
In DW I open a new php file.
I place some text in the body and highlight this.

In the top toolbar I open
webassist >cms>add content to power cms
The Content area wizard appears I enter body in the Content Area box and click finish.
The design page opens with a box called CMS Content but I cannot change the text.
I save the page.
I press F12 and the page opens blank.

Can you see what I am doing wrong please?

Code below

<?php require_once('Connections/PowerCMSConnection.php'); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<?php require_once("WA_CMS/WA_CMS.php"); ?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php echo WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'cmstest', 'Body'); ?>
<?php WA_manageSEO(); ?>
</body>
</html>

btw I did find the login and method of entering new text but still nothing appears in the browser.

Thanks
John

The code looks correct. I'd have to debug it live to see the problem. Is it possible you are using a local database and haven't uploaded the data to the live site?

The site and database are both on localhost. Does that make a difference?

Thanks

It makes a difference that I can't debug it, but it should work with that scenario.

Did you go through the CMS installer without issues? Can you test the Database connection in Dreamweaver without errors? Can you create a recordset and display content from your database in general? You would have to do more testing to narrow down how and why the issue occurs.
