[TYPO3-english] Multiple Content (jfmulticontent) in 7.6LTS?

[Scotty C]

Hey Jigal,

Very helpful yet again! Your explanation made perfect sense, and I implemented both the renderType changes to flexform_ds and ran DB analyzer ... to no avail. I still get the 'No renderType definition found' error.

Where else could renderType be required?

Thanks again,
-Scott.
