I think I'm missing something very basic because I'm running into the same problem in multiple places. Here's an example:

I wanted to make a change to the news block template news_block_new.html.

I tried doing it in Blocks admin. I clicked on Edit Template, made my change, clicked View, looks good. Problem is, it didn't save it and there doesn't seem to be a save button in that dialog.

OK, I sez to myself. No problem. I make a local copy of news_block_new.html, make my mods, and FTP it back.

Not only aren't the changes reflected in the block, but when I go back to Blocks admin and click Edit Template, my changes aren't there either. However, if I pull back news_block_new.html from /modules/news/templates/blocks, my changes *ARE* there.

Thinking this might be caching, I cleared out templates_c. No joy.

What am I missing?

Any help much appreciated!!

JP

Hello,

Welcome to Xoops.
Start by "cloning" your templates, there's a link for this in the templates manager then go in your general settings and select this new templates set as your default templates, then you will be able to modify your templates.

Bye,
Hervé
