Managing a module's templates

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Managing a module's templates

Post by simon_a »

Hi,

I installed the latest version of CMSMS yesterday on PHP 4.4.7.

I have a question about how module templates work.

I was trying to modify the News module's templates by uploading a modified .tpl file. However, that wasn't making changes to the display. The display is modified if I edit the template in the admin section.

My question is, why don't changes show when I upload a modified template? And why is the file on the server if it is not being used?

Thanks. I'm a newbie :)

1. News load template from DB (Admin Panel: Content > News > Summary templates or Detail templates)
2. Are used for loading default template (if you reset template)
