We’re running EE 2.4.0,  and save templates as files.

After renaming a template,  and saving it,  it creates the new template in the filesystem.  It doesn’t remove the template file with the old name,  and while quite a bad UIX / workflow,  I believe that’s just standard EE behaviour.

However,  going back to the newly renamed template via the CP,  making a change,  then re-saving,  I now have a duplicate FILE in the filesystem,  with the new name,  but missing the file extension.  So now I have THREE template files on the server…:

1)  the original template.html file
2)  the newly named template_new.html file
3)  the extension-less template_new file,  which seems to be the one linked to the db version (eg:  if I make a change in the cp,  this is the only server file updated)

Afraid to continue development,  make changes to template files,  or run a Sync templates for now,  and this is seriously impeding development.

What on earth could be going on?  Is this replicable on your end?  Any ideas what to look for?

I have the same issue. Add the file extension and then save from the CP creates a extension-less file that is linked to DB. Running 2.4 also

Hi all!

The good news? This is a known bug, and there is a solution!

If you apply the fix, does the issue persist?

Cheers,

That fixed it! Why is the RSS template extension .feed?

Sorry,  didn’t get the notification.  Yes,  this resolves the issue for me, tx.
