Hello,

I got this theme problem. I've downloaded one from the themes library and used it. Then I tried modifying it a bit (just adding some text nothing much). After I did that I uploaded the theme.html into that themes directory on my web server and nothing changed when viewed it again.

I tried deleting the whole folder and then uploading it again with the modified html file but nothing. I tried many things but nothing seems to work. The best part is that when I open the source code of theme.html in my ftp program I see it's been modified but when I look at the code in the browser it's not.

My guess is that when I uploaded the theme folder for the first time it's been recorded in the database or something like that. Help :/

delete the theme file in the templates_c directory.
it should look something like this
"%%2F^2FE^2FE3BDD0%%theme.html.php"

also, while your testing the theme, go into your system preferences\general preferences\
and turn on "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory".

just turn it off when your done.

I have same problem changing a theme file for the center blocks. The site is not using default theme. I delete the file, and the system rebuilds it.

Quote:
compiled from default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_c.html */ ?>


The problem is that, as i said, the theme in the site is NOT default. I only use default for administration, for the site i use another theme called "ecro2006".

open your theme.html file and search for
<{include file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}>

if you find it, change the line with
<{include file="ecro2006/blocks/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}>

Thanks a lot. BTW, i fixed it a much less elegant way: renamed "ECRO2006" theme to "default", and "default" to "administrator". Your way is much cleaner, thanks.
