I've been changing the templates and some modules to fit my needs (small html changes).
After some time I realy got fustrated since XOOPS keeps cache of the site at several levels, making it difficult to manage (delete)/ rebuild them.
So doing some experiments to see how my html changes looked at frontend, i've started with this procedures to clean of purge the cache:
1) empty folder xoopsroot/templates_c/ (has some effect, if empty, cachefiles are rebuild right away

)
2) backup and empty db-table tpl_source (very efficient lol, all is gone now)
during stage 2 i've lost my site, putting the backup back doesnt make a difference :-/ so how do I force XOOPS to rebuild the tplsource in db again so it contains a recent "build" of my templates, htmlfiles etc.... ??
