[Cartoweb-users] Re: problem with template changes

[Oliver Christen]

after doing a cw3setup.php --install --,,,
you do a cw3setup.php --clean
this is only to be sure there are no residual template files cached before accessing the application

also do a clean after modifiying any template files if you dont see any change on screen.

regards
Oliver

    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)

       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:
        http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToCreateANewProject

        regards
        Oliver
