[Cartoweb-users] Re: problem with template changes

[Oliver Christen]

well,
you cant simply copy a whole project folder and rename it, this will simply not work.

you have to set the mapid name in the project's client_conf/client.ini (usualy you project name)
you have to rename the folders and files in the project's server_conf folder and name them by your project name

do the --install command and the --clean command after that (not at once)

regards
Oliver

   Thanks , I have tried as you said but still faced problems and changes are  
    still not reflecting.following way I proceeded----:

    1) I created a copy of the folder demoCW3 as ProjectExample(for trial 
        purpose)
        c:\wamp\www\cartoweb3\project\ProjectExample

    2) created a copy of demoCW3.php in htdocs as ProjectExample.php
        
         changed and edited the project name inside the above file
         (ProjectExample.php)

   3)  then on the commnd window used the command 
       
       php cw3setup.php --install --base-url http://localhost/cartoweb3/htdocs --
                                                        project ProjectExample

   now i am able to use my own url 

  4) then i tried to make few changes on the screen for that i did the settings
      in client.in file --profile - development
    then again the used the cw3setup command(mentioned above)

  5)  now made changes in the cartoclient.tpl file inside the templates folder
       of my project ProjectExample.

    now the changes are only being reflected on the following page 

    http://localhost/cartoweb3/project/ProjectExample/templates/cartoclient.tpl

    but not on the main page..,now tell me how to do it?so that the changes will 
    reflect on the main running front end and will be permanant.

   please correct me also if i proceeded in a wrong manner.I need your guidance.

    eagerly looking forward to your response.

  Regards
  Natasha

    Hi

    first, by default the template caching is activated, meaning all changes to the templates files are not directly taken into account. You have to manual clear the cache with the command cw3setup.php --clean (in command-line, see http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.4/xhtml/user.install.html#user.install.main.setup.example.clean)

    I would suggest deactivating the caching system while you are developping your project, you can still activate it again when the project is in production phase later, to do so, simply set "profile=development" in your project's client_conf/client.ini file.

    also, you should be very clear about the differentiation between the "main" cartoweb files and your project files.
    http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.4/xhtml/user.structure.html#user.structure.project
    If you want to personalize some of the "main" templates files, simply copy them in your project (within the correct folders hierarchy), modify them and dont  forget to run a cw3setup.php --install command. This is necessary so the modified files are "mirrored" in the main Cartoweb's htdocs folder, hence viewable.

    This allow to keep a clean "main" Cartoweb and only touching up files at the project level.

    If you havent already, I would suggest making the tutorial available there:
