Templates not working after upgrading to 2.2.16

[tractorboy]

Hi,

I’ve upgraded from 2.2.7 to 2.2.16 and now have problems with the templates. The content is shown on the client side but not shown in the editor. The template has 2 blocks of content and used to use:
<tr>
<td class="first">{content }</td>
<td class="spacer">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="center">{content block="main"}</td>
</tr>
Following the example template at https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/layout/d ... e-template I tried adding this at the top of the template:
{strip}
{* Adds page specific metadata to the page *}
{process_pagedata}
{* Assign the main Content block to a string *}
{content assign='leftmenu'}
{* Create a second content block! *}
{content block='main' assign='maincontent' label='main'}
{/strip}
And this to show the content:
<tr>
<td class="first"> {$leftmenu}</td>
<td class="spacer">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="center">{$maincontent}</td>
</tr>
Now the content is not shown on the client side or in the editor. Any suggestions on how to fix this are very welcome.

I guess we never updated those to be 2.0 compatible (see the note above them), I'll make a note to revisit that. Try adding scope="global" to any of the {assign} statements. Have a look at the included sample templates for more updated examples.
