Updating the news template - what am I doing wrong?

Dear All,

I want to update the news template so that it displays the description of the news article as well as its title. I am assuming I have the right code as when I click Preview when updating the template through the web interface I see what I want to see. However, when I load up the page containing the Recent News block I only see the date and the title.

I checked the file under templates in the news folder and the template source in the database and they all contain the source that gives the right result according to Preview. However, I am not getting the desirable outcome (all templates_c files are cleaned up as well).

Could somebody provide any suggestions as to where I might be going wrong?

Thanks,
George

Did you set Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory? in admin --> system --> preferences --> general settings to yes?

Remember to turn it off again later once you are done with your changes.

I did, yes, but still the same result. The funny thing is that even if I type some text in, which should show up anyway, it doesn't - in preview it does. Any other ideas?


Thanks,
George

Nope, no luck. In previedw mode, everything works fine though.

Forgot to mention that when run with PHP debugging enabled, no errors come up. Also, when debugging at Smarty templates level, all the information comes up - it is only not been displayed!!!

You are working on a cloned template set right? And you only have this opne and its the one set active in preferences?

I am running out of ideas ... anyone?
