Default Customer Front End Screwed up, but I can't find any errors.

Dear all,

I was tweaking around with the Catalogue arrangements last night, and well, I got this as my display page:
Quote:
{* $Id: home.tpl,v 1.39.2.1 2002/10/14 12:50:01 alfiya Exp $ *} { config_load file="$skin_config" } { include file="meta.tpl" } { include file="rectangle_top.tpl" } { include file="head.tpl" } { include file="customer/categories.tpl" } {if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu eq "Y"} { include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" } {/if} {if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne ""}
{ include file="modules/Gift_Certificates/gc_menu.tpl" } {/if}
{ include file="help.tpl" } {include file="customer/home_main.tpl"} { include file="customer/menu_cart.tpl" } {if $login eq "" } { include file="auth.tpl" } {else} { include file="authbox.tpl" } {/if} { include file="news.tpl" }
{ include file="copyright.tpl" }
{ include file="rectangle_bottom.tpl" }

What I did was to change the position of this code:

Code:
{ include file="rectangle_top.tpl" } { include file="head.tpl" } <table border=0 width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center"><tr> <td class=TableLeft width=6 rowspan=2></td> <td class=TableLeft width=150 valign=top> { include file="customer/categories.tpl" }

to:
Code:
{ include file="rectangle_top.tpl" } { include file="head.tpl" } { include file="customer/categories.tpl" } <table border=0 width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center"><tr> <td class=TableLeft width=6 rowspan=2></td> <td class=TableLeft width=150 valign=top>

So after the screw up, I revert back my customer\home.tpl template, tested it to get back the original structure, and turned off the computer.

I logged on today, and clicked customer front end, and I got the previous junks as my HTML! I tried clearing cookies, temporary internet files. I checked out all the home.tpl codes that are in the folder. None of them helped.

Do I have to force a recompile? Please help, as there aren't any debug console poping up to help me too :cry:

Happy Valentines to you all!

Regards, and utmost appreciation,
Alan

If you delete the templates_c directory it will recompile itself.

I forgot to mention that I've installed X-Cart Locally using Win2K IIS =(

If I do remove the templates_c directory, it'd still be okay afterwards?

Sorry about the confusion, second day using X-Cart, PHP and Smarty!

Btw I reckon that I'll be around the forum for a long while!

Regards, and appreciation,
Alan

Happy Valentines' to all.

Yes - you're fine in removing this locally.
Welcome to the forum - most answers are here if you look hard enough and aren't scared to experiment (which obviously you are not )

Have fun

you can remove the contents of templates_c as this will be rebuilt next time you run the store.

You can also run cleanup.php which will clear the templates folder for you

Default Re-compiled, but still the same thing...

Well I raised my sleeves, wiped my sweat, and deletes everything in template, recompiled..and I still can't see my customer fron't end
From the source, I'm still getting seeing the
Code:
{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
before the main area. I don't think that I have caching enabled, I wouldn't know if I did too...

I'm trying to move my company's existing Yahoo store into X-Cart, as my company really don't like the inflexibility and steep learning curve of the RTML lang. they use. My deadline's 2 weeks! But good thing I have a little bit of practice before the store went busted.

Any tips/general pointers would be greatly appreciated!

With regards,
Alan

I went ahead and restore all my edited templates, Figured that if I couldn't see the customer screen, I might as well start from square one...

BUT it's still screwed up! So I'm double screwed now

Maybe I'll resort to reinstall everything.

Default More faults

Furthermore, the positions I've set under Management>Categories doesn't match the ones I've previewed using templates. I've set:

Pos. Category name
30 For Kids
20 For Men
10 For Women
50 Gifts and Collectables.

But during template previews, my category sections are all althabetically arranged....strange!

*EDIT* Shameless bump! The techs can't help me out on this, because X-Cart is resided locally in my computer, and I'd really like to get cracking on heavily modifying the customer cart's look..
