I started a site upgrade from EE1.x to EE2.3.1 - the site uses the Structure module.

I didn’t develop the original site and so I’ve been setting things up like I would one of my own builds.

Setting templates as files is part of that. So in my config I’ve got:

$config['save_tmpl_files']  = "y";
$config['tmpl_file_basepath']   = $base_path . "/templates/";

as per usual and that gives the right path in template prefs. However, when I go to sync, I only get 2 template groups.

I did try clearing out the templates and template groups from the db and then syncing (which works) but realised that it messes with Structure template assignments.

Any ideas?

Hi Steven,

Have you tried coding the full path in your config.php file yet? I realize that might not be idea for your setup, but I ran into a very similar issue myself earlier this year where I had problems getting templates to sync with a config.php setup that tried to use PHP variables as part of $config[‘tmpl_file_basepath’].

Could you give that a try and see if the sync behaves as expected?

Thanks Kevin - yeah I tried that too and it didn’t work.

I restored the db and reset all the paths and seems to be fine now. Definitely a weird issue though. I think it may have been that templates were saved as files on EE1 at one point and then turned off.

You can close this out though.
