I would love a big button always available and changing color with Status Enabled – "Wappler, leave my code alone!"
Wappler insists on changing head Includes, JS, all file Link References to “be smart” and helpful.
Which really devalues Wappler as a simple IDE.
The biggest headache is having to pull page code into a non-intrusive and non-destructive text editor during the course of a project before I can FTP the modification of page code back to a target server.
No matter whether working With Routing as a Default, or not choosing to use it in PHP, or selecting Document or Site href base Wappler refuses to leave the links alone – painstakingly modified to work in a particular server environment online.
Not being able to stop Wappler from changing links on Save is a time-killing frustration. I want to be able to pull pages back down from a given online server and modify them without any Wappler link re-writes so that I can use Wappler’s FTP to upload them back onto that server.
Call it a HANDS OFF SANDBOX or something . . .
As it is, the main reason pages don’t work or are missing CSS or JS files, for instance, after the first time they are uploaded & then modified is because of this one “feature”.
For now, though, I have to bounce back and forth between Wappler, a text editor and FileZilla for every change required.
