[one-users] Ruby oca - change templates

[Paulo A L Rego]

Thanks for tips..

This "onetemplate" feature is for 3.0 version, right?
I'm using ON2.2 and was trying to add dinamically the context information
to a VM in pending state, to simplify to final user. But it seems cant be
done in this version.

I'm gonna try ON3.0.
