I've been able to edit my templates before but today, I login, make a change, click on "update" and the admin page reloads back to the previous version like I haven't made any changes at all.

Anyone know why this might happen? It's like my editing ability has been "turned off"

Thanks!

It may be that you haven't chmodded the folder properly
I think it has to be atleast chmodded to 755

[mida68]

Nope, It was 777, I changed it to 755. Have no idea how it could have become un-chmodded

It's the weirdest thing. I'm on my admin page and after trying to edit the advanced pages, decided to try the basic templates.

I'm just taking off a <blockquote> tag to see if I can make a change stick and nope, it just reappears after I click on "update"

Hmmmmmm??

I am having the same problem. This morning I was making changes and seeing them appear on the server. Then all at once my changes were being ignored.

I am making changes to customer/main/products.tpl and I know the changes are being updated on the server, but X-Cart loads the old version every time. If I delete the template from the server, then the products stop showing up, but when I put the new version back on the server, the old version is used again.

Does Smarty cache the templates somehow? Where is it getting the old version?

If "$admin_safe_mode" is set to "true" then template editor is write-protected.

I found out why my template changes were not showing up.

There is a directory template_c that has a cached version of the templates. I checked the setting for my smarty cache in smarty.php, and it is set to have cache off, but maybe it is being turned on by X-Cart.

When I deleted the cached version of the template that I was working on, then my changes started to show up again.
