I'm using a data definition to have two text areas on a page. Problem is, is that one of the areas is showing up and the other isn't. The "content" textarea shows up in the Default area (or left-column) in my template... while the "images" textarea isn't displaying (it needs to be in the right-column area in my template). My setup is below, ask if you have any questions. Thanks.

Data definition:

<system-data-structure>
  <group identifier="item" label="Item" multiple="true">
    <text wysiwyg="true" identifier="content" label="Content"/>
    <text wysiwyg="true" identifier="images" label="Images"/>
  </group>
</system-data-structure>

Template:

<div class="left-col">
    <h1 id="page-title"><system-page-title/></h1>
    <system-region name="DEFAULT"/>
</div>
<div class="right-col">
    <system-region name="images"/>
</div>

Page Configuration:

Default: Block = empty, Format = stylesheets/Content
Images: Block = empty, Format = stylesheets/Images

Content Stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="system-data-structure">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="item">
            <xsl:copy-of select="content/node()"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Images Stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="system-data-structure">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="item">
            <xsl:copy-of select="images/node()"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

   Looks like, in the images stylesheet, you're matching on "image" instead of "item"

   <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/> ... <xsl:template match="item">

   Good eye, though it still isn't working.

   That's what I get for responding before I've had my coffee. I didn't look at your page configuration. Data definitions are applied only to the DEFAULT region.

   So you'll want to get rid of the "images" region and have your XSLT generate the

   tags.

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
       <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
       <xsl:template match="system-data-structure">
           <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
       </xsl:template>
       <xsl:template match="item">
           <div class="left-col">
               <h1 id="page-title"><system-page-title/></h1>
               <xsl:copy-of select="content/node()"/>
           </div>
           <div class="right-col">
               <xsl:copy-of select="images/node()"/>
           </div>
       </xsl:template>
   </xsl:stylesheet>
