Can apply, but not edit template - ?

Post by msboyd »

Hi --

This is probably obvious, but I imported the 3col wireframe a while ago and have only just gotten around to having time to edit it (I've applied it to the temporary page here, although I'm not sure it's currently accessible outside our firewall).

Now that I am finally looking for it, I can't see where to edit it -- I've looked under Templates, Menu Manager and Theme Manager and can export it, but not actually edit it.  Any ideas where it's gone?  I seem to be able to apply it to any page, but cannot figure out where it's gone as far as making any changes to it.

Thanks!

Not sure how you can use it if you can't edit it...

When you import a template you need to go to the Templates page and make it active, make sure you have permissions to do this first..

Thanks -- I did that a while back and it shows up as a possible template I can add to an individual page in the dropdown menu when creating a page; it also appears in the Theme Manager as something I can export, but it's absent from the main Templates page (oddly enough).

As a possible workaround, I tried re-importing the theme (wireframe3col.xml) but I get errors telling me that the elements are already installed (which I suppose is true) but I was hoping to be able to start from scratch with them -- would there be another way to do that?  I tried re-naming it and importing it that way but get the same error.

Do you have enough templates to have 2 pages, it shows up on mine as the last one, it is hard coded in the XML file as to the name of it plus all the style sheets have wireframe3col as the prefix...

If you want I can send you the template as a text/flat file and you can add it then attach all the style sheets to it...
