Help with the xmt template...

Hi All,

I'm trying to remove the links that are the top of the of page, just under the logo for the xmt template. I think I'm going crazy because I saw them in the theme_usernav.html file and I simply deleted the code. However if you go to the sitehttp://www.kook-a-meter.com you can clearly see them still on the page.

These are the links that say first link second link, third link etc. How can I remove them permanently? Am I missing something here?

Thanks
Matt

Look inside the theme.html perhaps the theme doesn't use the outside file but has the same code.

Have you deleted the files of templates_c folder (without index.htm) ??

Also if you have cache enabled please disable it.

i have not deleted the contents of templates_folder. should i?

i do not cache enabled.

I recently downloaded the blue_shine template and i really like its look but once again I can't seem to change the links. At the top of the page are links to downloads and links. I downloaded the theme.html file. removed the links since I don't have a download or link area then loaded the page back up to the server. However the links still remain.

It's so frustrating. I have no clue why these updates I'm doing to the code on these pages isn't changing. Am I missing something here? I've done a lot of design but this is my first in depth modification of a XOOPS site.

Thanks

This is what you are looking for

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
                <tr align="center"> 
                  <td id="headmenu"><a class="menuHead" href="http://www.kook-a-meter.com/index.php">Home</a></td>
                  <td width="1" ><img src="http://www.kook-a-meter.com/themes/blue_shine/images/separator.gif" width="2" height="40" /></td>

                </tr>
      </table>


It is definitely inside of one of the html files that was included with the theme. Its always a good idea to clear your templates_c folder before giving up. Whenever you change something and it does not immediately resolve. Clear this folder... completely delete all of its contents... and it should then resolve.

This is what i changed it to...

Quote:
<td id="headmenu"><a class="menuHead" href="<{$xoops_url}>/index.php">Home</a></td>
<td width="1" ><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/separator.gif" width="2" height="40" /></td>
<td id="headmenu" ><a class="menuHead" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/">News</a></td>
<td width="1" ><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/separator.gif" width="2" height="40" /></td>
<td id="headmenu"><h3>Downloads</h3></td>
<td width="1" ><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/separator.gif" width="2" height="40" /></td>
<td id="headmenu"><a class="menuHead" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/">Forum</a></td>
<td width="1" ><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/separator.gif" width="2" height="40" /></td>
<td id="headmenu">Articles</td>
<td width="1" ><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/separator.gif" width="2" height="40" /></td>
<td id="headmenu">Links </td>


I can't understand why it remains the same on the server. I even went so far as to delete the theme.html page completely from the server then reloaded it with these changes and it remains exactly the same way.

Everyday,

Try this.

To empty your template_c folder just use your ftp program, navigate to your sites template_c folder. This folder will most likely be found in your Public_html folder.

Don't delete any folders just the contents found in the template_c folder. This folder acts like a cache for your sites html.

After that you should see the changes you've made to your theme. You might have to refresh your browser to see changes.

You can also do it this way. Might be easier if your going to be playing around with your theme and will allow you to see you changes just by refreashing your browser window.

For XOOPS version 2.2.X
Login to your site. Goto administration/ Preferences/ System/ General settings, and click yes to: Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?

For XOOPS version 2.0.X
Go to System Admin/ Preferences/ General Settings, and click yes to: Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?

Dont forget to change this option back to NO when you finished.

^^Nice canned message^^

It has to be that you have not cleared your templates_c folder

public_html/templates_c

Fantastic! That did it. Since I'm a newbie would you indulge me and tell me what the purpose of the templates_c folder is?

Thanks
