[SOLVED] Problems when I want to delete cache (but truly delete it)

[jorgeferpas]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a VERY annoying problem. I want to modify 'order-detail.tpl' on my theme and, when I refresh my store, I can see that Prestashop shows some modifications I did on that file, but doesn't show some of them.

 

Of course, I have set off 'cache' and set on 'force compilation' on my Back Office > Preferences > Performance [smarty]. Beside of that, I have deleted all files but 'index.php' in '/tools/smarty/compile'. And here comes the point; when I access to a order details (so Prestashop calls 'order-detail.tpl'), a file called '(lots of numbers/letters).file.order-detail.tpl.php', amongst others, appears in '/tools/smarty/compile', and it has the changes I can see on my store, but it doesn't have the changes I did in 'order-details.tpl' who my store doesn't show. So the question is, where does Prestashop get that information from? Where is THAT cache?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Regards!

/tools/smarty/compile and /tools/smarty/cache

If you also use file system cacheing (last option in the performance tab), you should disable that.

Thanks tomerg3, but I have disabled that too, and my forder /tools/smarty/cache is empty. I really don't know why are parts of the file I can't modify (I can modify but prestashop ignores these modifications).

[tomerg3]

What files are you trying to modify?

Most likely the problem is elsewhere (maybe you are not changing the right files), since Prestashop does not ignore changes.

I am trying to modify order-detail.tpl in my theme directory. The strange part is that I have done some changes who I can see in prestashop. For example, I changed the text "order done at {date}", and I can see the change in my store. But I change a <td> label in the same file (I change "<td>" for "<td id="left">) and I can't see the changes on my website (even I can't find the label "<td id="left">" in the source code of my site, which means that that part of the file was not taken from "order-detail.tpl".

 

This is the part I want to modify, where the red text is the modified text who prestashop "ignores", and the blue text is the modified text who prestashop does correctly:

 

{if count($order_history)}

<p class="bold" style="margin:20px 0 -15px 35px;width:125px;text-align:center;color:#fffff8;background:#cbcbbb;border-radius:3px 3px 0 0">Order history</p>

<div class="table_block">

<table class="detail_step_by_step std">

<thead>

<tr>

<th class="first_item">{l s='Date'}</th>

<th class="last_item">{l s='Status'}</th>

</tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

{foreach from=$order_history item=state name="orderStates"}

<tr class="{if $smarty.foreach.orderStates.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.orderStates.last}last_item{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.orderStates.index % 2}alternate_item{else}item{/if}">

<td id="left">{dateFormat date=$state.date_add full=1}</td>

<td id="right">{$state.ostate_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</td>

</tr>

{/foreach}

</tbody>

</table>

</div>

{/if}

When you look at the compiled file, do you not see the code in red?

Also, your syntax there is wrong, you cannot have more than 1 element with the the same id="" and in your case you have it in a loop...

[jorgeferpas]

Exactly, I don't see the code in red when I look at the compiled file.

 

You're right, it's a syntax error, I will fix it, but even a syntax error should appear in the compiled file.

[tomerg3]

Hard to say, you may not be looking in the right place...
