interesting error
 

Hello,

When I edit main/register.tpl, i keep getting an error on customer/register.php:

Warning: Smarty error: problem writing '../templates_c/%%180/%%1802305980/register.tpl.php.' in /blah/blah/blah/xcart/Smarty-2.3.0/Smarty.class.php

does anyone have any idea what causes that? when I opened the file file in the templates_c folder, i noticed a synax error, fixed it, and the error went away, but the update to register.tpl does not take place. The templates_c folder is set up to permissions 777.

So if I try to edit the template again, I get the same error as above. Any ideas what might be causing that? Thanks!

Have you tried removing templates_c/ and let x-cart/smarty recreate the directory, or issued a clear templates in the summary of the admin?

hht. ;)

Thank You Boomer,

I did try deleting the templates_c folder, and got a bunch of errors, including this error:

Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied)

We had changed the permisions for the x-cart folder, is this what could be causing it?

The reason we changed the permissions was because we needed to edit a php file within the include folder, but the user name that owned the files was declared when we set up x-cart.

Good news, the error went away!

After deleting the templates_c folder, I recreated the folder, set chmod to 777, and then refreshed the website. This must have rewrote that cached template that was creating errors. Thanks for your help!

The same error happened to me when editing templates.

Deleting the templates_c directory as directed above worked for me too.

Good call.
