Styles Refreashing Problem

[Dark Takua]

Hi, I need help with this:

Confirm

Are you sure you wish to refresh all template data in the database with the contents of the template files on the filesystem? This will overwrite all modifications which have been carried out with the template editor while the template was stored in the database.

How come it says this? When I said Yes, it changed the code back to when I changed it. I'm using phpBB version 3.0.6. I think it has to do with a MOD..I think it was Buttons Menu 1.2 or the Attributes MOD. Did anyone else get this before? Thanks in advance!

Are you changing the template data in the database, or are you modifying the files? o_o

 

[Dark Takua]

What's the template data?

 

[Deleted member 1609]

Ugh. I'm not sure why I asked that.

Try purging the cache on the ACP index.

 

[Dark Takua]

So it'll change to the regular, when I purge the cache? It didn't change.

What this means is that the template data is being read from the database rather then your filesystem. That means that if you edit a template via the acp, it will change the template but only in the database and not on the file system. If you then refresh your template, all the template data in the db gets removed and copies all the data from the template files on the file system into your database. Any changes you did in the ACP in terms of template editing is now lost.

 

[Dark Takua]

Darn it. So how do I get rid of the message?

 

[Dasher]

You don't; you have to edit them with Notepad++ or somethign similar, this is just free and easy to edit the files.

 

[CyberFreak]

This will lose anything edited through the ACP. If code isn't in the main template files, you will lose it when you change from database to filesystem. If in doubt leave it how it is.


ACP ---> Styles ----> Templates ----> Details ---> Store Templates in File system

It says:

Warning

The template file was unwritable so the template set is now stored in the database containing the modified file.

[Dasher]

Your folders and files are unwritable, that's why it's better to grab them from the FTP and do it. You have to CHMOd every file to where everyone can write it

 

[Dark Takua]

What should I change it to?

 

[Dasher]

You would have to set it to 664, enogh for the group to write it. 🙂

 

[Dark Takua]

Still isn't working.

 

[Dasher]

Make it so everyone can write?

 

[Dark Takua]

Yes, I did.

Are you with a free host like 000webhost for example? I am having the exact same issue on my test forum on 000webhost.

 

[Dark Takua]

No, I'm on a paid host.
