We use git checkout to deploy our ee code. A new developer accidentally updated a template file in the web interface. Now ee doesn’t even recognize that the file is in the file system “file does not exist” in the synchronize templates interface. Synchronizing the files, then doing the git checkout doesn’t fix things either.

Any thoughts here?

Hi Kay,

What version of ExpressionEngine are you using?

There is a bug with templates as files in ExpressionEngine 2.4

Does that help?

Cheers,

Yeap!

It looks like we have an interim solution:

I’ve figured out the problem:
In the production DB, the “news/.single-entry” template has a “template_type” of “undefined”.
In the developmnt DB, the “news/.single-entry” template has a “template_type” of “webpage”.
This means that the dev install looks for a file called “.single-entry.html”
The production install, however,looks for a file called “.single-entry”
Proposed solution:
In the production database ‘ee’,
UPDATE exp_templates
SET template_type = ‘webpage’
WHERE group_id = 5 AND template_name = ‘.single-entry’
Then the production DB will be looking for the dev DB’s template file with the proper file extension.

We’ll get the upgrade to 2.5.2 on our calendar pronto.

Hi Kay,

Thanks for sharing your workaround!

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,

Nay, thanks

Hey Kay,

Yea! 😉

If, however, that changes, please let me know in a new thread!

Cheers,
