[solved] tpl files are not compiled

[Isb]

Hi all, I'm running 1.5.4.1 and i have a problem with tpl files.

 

I have the cache disabled and template cache setted to force compilation.

 

I have installed the module for clearing cache and also deleted all files in /cache/smarty/compile and /cache/smarty/cache and inside my theme cache folder

 

I don't have any caching systems ( like varnish etc ) in background.

 

Hovewer if i edit any tpl file, no changes are visible in the front end. Of course my browser cache is empty.

 

At the moment i'm on localhost with xampp enabled.

 

What should i do? Thanks for all

I know that this may be dumb question, but... are you sure that you editing correct theme .tpl files?

Moreover, if you editing module .tpl files you should chceck themes/your_theme/modules/your_module/ directory for this file. if this file exists there - you should apply changes there

[Isb]

You are right: the theme has the module folder inside. ( yes i am a dumb sorry ^^" but i am new to ps )

 

By the way i have another question about my module tpl file:

 

this is my install code

 

return parent::install() &&
 $this->registerHook( 'top' ) &&
 $this->registerHook( 'header' );

 

and this is my function for the tpl file

 

public function hookTop( $params ){
 return $this->display( __FILE__ , 'blockinfo.tpl' );
}

 

Am i wrong in something?

[vekia]

well it looks fine, if it doesnt work for you, try to use:

return $this->display( __FILE__ , '/blockinfo.tpl' );

 

with " / " sign before blockinfo.tpl

[Isb]

This is my module structure

 

 

and inside the tpl, there is just a string : "THIS IS A TEST". I added the " / " sign, but in the front end the string isn't displayed

[vekia]

have you got this file in views directory?

[Isb]

I found on the guide for module developing this text:

 

hookDisplayLeftColumn(): will hook code into the left column – in our case, it will fetch the MYMODULE_NAME module setting and display the module's template file, mymodule.tpl, which must be located in the /views/templates/hook/ folder.

 

So i did this in the first time, but it didn't work. Then i tried to put the tpl file into the root of the module folder and still no results

 

At the moment the file is located in the module root.

ichecked your module - it works fine:

maybe try to delete it from modules section, then install it again (install from zip package)

[Isb]

Ok now there is another problem: when i'm going to install the module ( via upload form ), it triggers the error "module not found", and if i try to uninstall the module, it triggers a fatal error:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function uninstall() on a non-object in /home/wwwsite/isaytest.com/htdocs/stereomuch/controllers/admin/AdminModulesController.php on line 574

 

I'm using the same zip i sent to you.

[Isb]
