Template won't update

[DennisHermannsen]

Hi forum,

 

We're trying to make a new template for our WHMCS site, as the current one doesn't have many of the newer features (it's kinda old, the template). We wanna make a redo of the Default template, but we don't wanna do it on our site, while customers are browsing and stuff, so we made a copy of the whole thing and threw it in a folder on the same webserver. We couldn't access the admin panel, but we won't have to, so I guess that's fine.

 

However, whenever we try to edit the template, nothing happens - or at least not when we edit something in the .css files. We can actually remove all .css files, and the template still works perfectly. I also tried doing this on our "main" site, but nothing happened there as well.

If we change something in the template (the .tpl files), it works though - but we cannot change anything in the .css files, so it's kinda hard to edit the template. I've tried clearing cache, both server side and client side, but nothing happens.

 

Any ideas why?

 

Regards,

Dennis

Are you clearing the cache files in templates_c ? Are you doing a hard refresh on your browser?

[DennisHermannsen]

I'm deleting everything in templates_c and deleting cache in my browser (I've also tried deleting cookies, even though I'm pretty sure that has no effect).

Cookies shouldn't - are you modifying the correct css file for the correct in use template?

Oh, I was just being a dumbass. I apparently had to change this:

<link href="(templates/{$template}/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">

to this

<link href="<newfolder>(templates/{$template}/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">

 

where <newfolder> is the new copy of WHMCS that I copied and pasted into a new directory. No more help needed
