| by Sargon on 2008/5/2 11:36:37 I updated my theme.html file, but I don't see the changes in my browser no matter what I do. I think I did all 5 thigns mentioned by noo-b but it still doesn't work. I deleted all the files in template_c and etc, and yet I cannot see the changes. Edit: Ok, I just noticed my ftp program did not show me the correct state of template_c. It showed as if the folder is empty(except for index.html) while it was not. |

| by tom on 2008/4/29 16:49:43 eugenia, That sounds more complicated to me, but each to their own. Do as Noo-b said, clear your template_c folder (but keep index.html). CTRL + F5 do a hard refresh. (clears old browser site, to show the latest version). You shouldn't need to clear cache as this not really theme related. |

| by eugenia on 2008/4/29 15:43:01 Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I had the same problem and found another way of doing it, perhaps i should say simpler... On the local site of my ftp (I'm using dreamweaver) I rename the folder of the particular theme. If it is called MyTheme, I rename it to something like MyTheme2. I then open theme.html and replace all the MyTheme lines with MyTheme2. I then copy it to the server, go to preferences and select the theme. Done! It may not be the best way but it works and it's fairly easy as I find myself constantly having to change the theme a bit. Good Luck! Eugenie |

| by noo-b on 2008/4/27 16:58:33 The chances are that all your modifications are there but the reason for not seeing them is because your browser is still seeing the old version. After making changes to a theme, you should always carry out the following: 1- be sure that you set "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" to "YES" in General Settings! (should be turn off when your site is live) 2- Delete all the files (except any index file) in the templates_c and cache folder in the root of your site. 3- Configure your browser to always look for a new version of a website, or 4- Delete all your browsers cached files. 5- Refresh your browser and visit your pages again. This nearly always remedies the problem. If your changes are still not visible, then it's time to re-check your work. https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=201 |
