PHP and Smarty

[Jane B]

Hey Guys,

I'm doing some changes to a site using smarty (never used it before) and made changes to the files in the template folder - just some text changes.

The files are all called stuff like %%50^50C^50C24659%%tr_index.tpl
Thing is when I try to upload the new files using Filezilla or the web based file manager it says "invalid file type, cannot upload". I can't upload my changes!

Please if anyone has done this before can u suggest anything? Thanks!

Files with such names are compiled files, and changing them won't result in a real change. You need to change actual template files which most likely has regular names.

Those are the cached versions of the actual templates. You must edit the actual templates (the ones with normal filenames) and clear the cache to see the changes.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see that reply above mine that states almost the exact same thing.

Thanks to both of you!
