Thread

I’m one of those idiots who knows just enough to be dangerous. I have never worked in EE from the developer side, but thought I could change the name of a field in my template without creating a problem. I lost visibility of several other content fields on the live site. My best guess as to the source is that when I clicked Update, there was a checkbox for Save as File that was checked. Any possibility my content will again appear if I uncheck this box and Update (I changed the field name back to original)?

To see what happened, you can review the difference on our cloned sites:

Correct display: http://www.bobrick.la/products/product/b_824_dispensador_automatico_de_jabon_para_instalar_sobre_encimeras_sureflo

Messed-up display: http://www.bobrick.co.uk/en/products/product/b_824_sureflo_automatic_counter_mounted_liquid_soap_dispenser

It looks like you are missing your product description and possibly the little grey sidebar on the right.

Can you describe exactly what you did and where you did these things including things that you may have done to try to fix the problem. There is a chance that you changed something without knowing it, so understanding the entire timeline is important to answer your question.

If you changed what is known as the “short name” (no spaces and usually has underscores) of your field in the AdministrationChannel > FieldsGroup section, then you will have to update all instances in your site that makes use of this outdated field tag.

Changing the “field label” shouldn’t have any adverse effects as this seems to serve only as a reference to tag in question.

Thanks for your reply. Attached is a screen shot of where I was when I made the change and the complete code from the page. I highlighted the portion I changed and subsequently changed back:

product_basic_line_drawing

changed to product_bim

then changed back to the original including spaces, et al. You can also see the check box at the bottom, which I left checked by default.
