Pligg Beta 9.9.5 cannot switch template using settemplate.php. When you type in your browser: http://domain.com/settemplate.php?template=yget or whatever template you will used it will show an error:

Warning: Template "TEMPLATE_NAME" does not exist!

even though the template really exists in the /templates folder.

Hi cmstheme

Are you sure that the template_details.php is correct? I'm using 9.9.5 and have no problem switching in between templates.

[cmstheme]

My default template is a custom one. Then when I switched to "yget" I got the error. Here's the unmodified template_details.php of yget:

PHP Code:

<?php
    $template_info['name'] = 'yGet'; // do not use the _ character. use - instead
    $template_info['desc'] = 'yGet';
    $template_info['author'] = 'Pligg Team';
    $template_info['support'] = 'http://forums.pligg.com/yget/';
    $template_info['version'] = 0.995;
    $template_info['designed_for_pligg_version'] = '9.9.5';
?>

Here's also another thread that encountered the error: http://forums.pligg.com/customizatio...l-shows.html#3 - please look at number 4 of his reply.

My Pligg 9.9.5 is a fresh install.

I still can't recreate this.. So can you give us some more details so I can see if I can't recreate this and see whats going on. Are you using the template management module to switch, or are you switching by the standard admin>config> template> method? Are you able to switch by using the settemplate.php?template=templatename method?

Thanks

[cmstheme]

The error is when you change template by cookie only: http://domain.com/settemplate.php?template=yget

I can switch template and there's no problem if I use admin>config> template> method

I have never tried template management module.

I also copied the old settempalte.php file from 9.9.0 and still the problem occured.

[chuckroast]

It sounds like something could be corrupting the cookie.
Try this and see if you get a different result.

Go to line 37 of settemplate.php and look for

$main_smarty->assign('message', 'Warning: Template <b>"' . sanitize($_GET['template'],1) . '"</b> does not exist!');

Replace with

$main_smarty->assign('message', 'Warning: Template <b>"' . $_GET['template'] . '"</b> does not exist!');

[cmstheme]

In 9.9.0 and 9.9.5 this line:

PHP Code:

$main_smarty->assign('message', 'Warning: Template <b>"' . $_GET['template'] . '"</b> does not exist!'); 


is the default one.

So I replace it with:

PHP Code:

$main_smarty->assign('message', 'Warning: Template <b>"' . sanitize($_GET['template'],1) . '"</b> does not exist!'); 


There's no error that comes out, but still I cannot switch the template.

[chuckroast]

This is probably a dumb question but did you delete templates_c?

[cmstheme]

Yes, I have deleted the contents of templates_c.

When I compare the settemplate.php file of 9.9.0 and 9.9.5, the only difference is this:

9.9.0:

PHP Code:

if(file_exists("./templates/".$_GET['template']."/link_summary.tpl")){ 


9.9.5:

PHP Code:

if(file_exists("./templates/".$_GET['template']."/link_summary.tpl") && strpos('.', $_GET['template']) === 0){ 


I have also tried to use the settemplate.php from 9.9.0 and there's still the error.
