Changes in .tpl files won't show

[belwarg]

Hello!

I have a problem with updating tpl files.

 

I wanted to change links in blockcategories (so title will be title, not description). So I changed 2 files:

- modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl

- themes/my_theme/category-tree-branch.tpl

 

In both files line which generate link looks like this now

<a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

 

After change uploaded files to ftp, turned off shop, cache, turned on "force compile", deleted files from 'cache' and 'compile' in tools/smarty.

 

And still nothing changed on my site. It is not related to browser cache - checked on 4 browsers (+ private mode in each one) and also on second computer.

 

tools/smarty/compile - empty

tools/smarty/cache - empty

"force compile" - on

"cache" - off

even changed in smarty.config.inc.php

$smarty->caching = false;
$smarty->force_compile = true;

 

Any ideas how to fix that? Tried also with some others tpl files (like footer - added class to div etc.) and they won't work too.

 

Using PrestaShop™ 1.4.4.1

Hi,

There is a problem with the categories block's cache in 1.4 (didn't check it in 1.5). Try opening blockcategories.php and remove the statement where it gets the cached version. i know it might sound redundant, but that's what i found to be the most useful thing sometimes. Can't remeber exactly where it is, but it should be in the hookLeftColumn function, as an IF statement.

Hi belwarg,

 

The files that you should edited are located at themes/my_theme/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl

clear the cache and the compile folder, and refresh the page.

 

works for me.
