I need Your Help!

I'm having an Issue when I try to update /customer/main/Welcome.tpl.

When Working in the Template editor in X-carts admin area, I can easily make and save changes to Welcome.tpl, however, when I go to the front-end nothing has changed. I've cleared browser cache and template cache and still nothing.

When I browse back to Welcome.tpl the changes i made are still there and saved, but the homepage simply doesn't reflect the changes.

Any other file I edit will work and update as it should, just not /customer/main/Welcome.tpl.

Now when I make the changes using "Webmaster Mode" it appears to work great. So I know my coding is correct. But the changes don't actually carry over to the real homepage. (And it doesn't matter how big or small the change is)

My Client is getting bugged that its taking so long for a simple edit, and I'm sure its something simple. I Know you all can Help!

Why won't changes to /customer/main/Welcome.tpl actually affect the homepage?!??


Thanks in Advance!

Has anyone seen anything like this? Any possible reasons this may be happening?

and the file is actually welcome.tpl (lower case)
I guess that Welcome.tpl and welcome.tpl are two different files for Linux.

yes, welcome.tpl and Welcome.tpl are 2 different files on any system.


Why not edit with text editor and FTP?

[mromrell]

I've tried that as well.
For some reason its like the home page just isn't using that file ( /customer/main/Welcome.tpl ). or more accurately It appears that its using some cached version of the file.

When I view the source code straight from the browser it doesn't show my changes. but the changes are there when I edit the files through the admin area or download them via FTP.

Besides the template cache in /var/template_c are there any other places that the page could be pulling from? (My computer cache has been thoroughly cleared. and I've tried this on various other computers that reside off my local network)

I've also temporarily change all my permissions to 777.

does your custom/home_main.tpl say welcome.tpl or Welcome.tpl?

[BritSteve]

Is var $compile_check = false; in Smarty.class.php set to true?

I'm assuming you mean customer/home_main.tpl?

In which case it calls for the following:
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl"

Which is the File thats is giving me so much grief.
And Thank you so Much for your help so far!

Its set to: var $compile_check = true;

Should I change it to false?

Also:
var $force_compile = false;

BritSteve!
You got me in the right direction!!
I changed var $force_compile to True and now i think its working!
