Yes, sorry it's unclear.
I've (just) created and saved a component called 'Test of
discount-price',
filename 'jdr' in the demo area 1, that just contains [discount-price]
as
the component body. Retrieval via file transfer gives:
[comment]
ui_component: jdr
ui_type: component
ui_name: jdr
ui_component_version: 4.9.7
ui_label: Test of discount-price
[/comment]
[discount-price]
---end of file
i.e., all perfectly correct.
If you view/edit this in the Content...Component editor, the component
body is $0.00 -- not [discount-price].
Alternatively, or if it's gone by the time you read this (I know it gets
reset
daily), then:
1. Create a new component (or page)
2. Enter '[discount-price]' as the body
3. Hit 'OK' under component body to save it
4. Hit 'Refresh'
5. Component body now contains '$0.00'
Hope this makes more sense.
Thanks,
John.
