View Full Version : New template will not show existing catagories

I'm having issues switching my site from the General Modern template to the new General Simple Blue. I'm switching the templates so I have access to the 'Long Top' position option.

I uploaded the General Simple Blue template to my site and activated it and everything is working properly except for the LISTING CATEGORIES box.

Instead of listing all of my existing categories it instead shows 'There are no categories added yet'. The Alphabetic selection along the top does show all the categories and allows you to access them.

When I switch back to the old General Modern template the LISTING CATEGORIES box will show all of my existing categories.

Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

The site is www.talkingads.ca and I've included screen shots of the problem.

EDIT: It seems that all 4.1 Templates will display the LISTING CATEGORIES correctly but all 4.2 Templates will not. I just downloaded the 4.1 version of General Simple Blue and everything seems to be good.

Hello Kalihma,

in Admin Panel at Common -> Refresh

- Recalculate the number of listings for each category
- Rearrange category levels
- Update position of fields/groups for each form
- Update system cache

Done!
Then everything should be ok. ;)

Regards
Steffen

I refreshed everything like you said and it didn't fix the problem :(

Hi Kalihma,

I'm sorry for you that this has not worked.

Have you installed the 4.2 script or the 4.1 script?
I mean not the template.

4.2 Templates are for the v4.2 script.
4.1 Templates are for the v4.1 script.

Congratulations, if you have installed the 4.2 script.
Then, you are allowed to deal with some problems.

I quote Mike F.



Yes unfortunately 4.2 had some problems...


It's just a final version. ;)

Prepare for the flynax dev team ever access to your server.
So that they can fix their problems.

Because i can only shake the head.

Regards
Steffen
