homefeatured problem - no changes are visible

hi!

i downloaded minimaliste theme from DG.Craft, i've got 1.3 presta version and i cannot modify HOMEFEATURED MODULE at all..

i'm modyfying homefeatured.tpl file - no use. when i delete it, it still works. when i delete .php file - it disapeears. from where does it take the content?!?! :/

Topic moved since it is related to a third-party theme

It's reading from themes/minimaliste/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl, which is the right way of doing themes, since it allows you to install two themes with different homefeatured.tpl files.

but i'm changing it and nothing happens :/ even if it's deleted smarty-clear also doesn't help :/

That's weird. Have you tried clearing your cache? What happens when you modify modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl? Does that work or does it also do nothing?

[iheartwine]

it does absoultely nothing, even when i delete it. only when i delete homefeatured.php, than the module disappears ._.

There must be something seriously wrong with your PrestaShop installation. Do you have $smarty->compile set to "true"? What template is being called in homefeatured.php?

i found a solution, but still it's strange.

in homefeatured.php i've changed

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

to

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

and it works. when i change it back, it's still wrong. so probably it's a cache fault - i used "clear smarty" module, but with no use :/
so the case is semi-solved
