Hi

I am having problems updating a template I have created a few weeks ago. It was working before, but now, when I make changes and click on Update. It going into an endless “Loading”.

I have php code and call a plugin. Can anyone point me in the right direction to debug?

Thank you :D

Is that a custom template you are developing? Also, what version and build of EE are you on?

Yes, it is a custom template for a menu.

The version I am on is 1.6.6 Build:  20081114

Sorry, I misspoke, I meant to say “custom plugin”. Also, upgrading to 1.6.7 would help us rule out file corruption, if that’s an option.

I rather no upgrade right now,the last time I did, I encountered more problems.

Yes, it is a custom plugin and I broke up the template into bits. The problem starts when I add a query:

{exp:query sql="SELECT cat_name, cat_id, cat_url_title FROM exp_categories WHERE parent_id = '{embed:Cat_id}' ORDER BY cat_order"}

            <li><a href="http://{path=" class="">{cat_name}</a></li>
         
        {/exp:query}

Is this of any help?
Thanks

I am afraid this is all somewhat vague. If it’s a plugin you are developing, may I suggest the “Plugins” sub forums? It’s where the specialists hang out. In your query, you can try hardcoding some values instead of using embeds (for testing purposes); and I still suggest you upgrade to EE 1.6.7, it’s a recommended security update.

Well, I cannot test the query at all because as soon as I enter the code and click on Update I go nowhere, the browser window can stay loading for ages :( and I removed the plugin code here. So I have no idea why the queries don’t work now

You should do some reduction testing: start with a minimal template, then add to it until it breaks. Another quick thing:

<li><a href="http://{path=" class="">{cat_name}</a></li>

Is that your exact code? The path= variable appears to be empty, and unclosed.
