Hi,

I created a custom component followed the process described in article: [http://www.flashbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=31](http://www.flashbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=31)

It seems to work ok apart from two issues.

1. I can’t see the custom parameters I added in the parameters panel. Is this possible at all and if it is any guidance? Articles, tutorials, tips, whatever.

2. I created my component by using the Button component (since I only need some extra functionality to that). It works ok but I had to add a second **Component Shim**. So the resulting component has 2 Component Shims in it. Is this the way it’s meant to be?

Thanks in advance
