XF 1.5 Editing the templates.xml

Me again...

So just playing with the templates.xml currently to re-arrange some things and remove some things that I dont want, however whenever I apply my changes, nothing happens...

I can even load into the admin cp and check the templates from in there and my changes I have made to the actual xml file hasnt changed.

I have tried rebooting the instance to see if it was a cache issue, it isnt.

Does xen only take notice of the templates.xml when changed within the admin cp?

I am using phpstorm to find the items I am editing, editing them within phpstorm, saving and then syncing the files, no changes.

As a test, I even removed everything from the templates.xml so it was a blank xml file and again I could load into the admin cp and find everything was still there... Am I looking in the wrong place?

I have tried doing a global search through phpstorm for the template code and it only finds stuff in templates.xml, no other references are found...

Any help is as always appreciated

Regards,
Matthew

Never change anything in the files or database unless given specific instructions to.

Templates need to be edited through the interface in the control panel.

This is just a local test installation I am essentially "playing" with different things - The xen interface in the control panel is clunky in the sense that it doesnt have a syntax highlighter, and I know you can link dreamweaver to the webdav, but I just want to be able to load everything in my ide and change the file to see what effect they have on the fly.

Where can I find the files that xen actually reads from to put the page together?

Fair enough, is there any chance you could take a quick look at this and see if theres anything I am over looking?

Below works fine

Code: 
<xen:require css="UserRankImages.css" />
    
<xen:if is="@UserRankImagesActive">

    <ul class="UserRankImages">
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages1UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages1">
            <li class="UserRankImages1"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages2UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages2">
            <li class="UserRankImages2"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages3UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages3">
            <li class="UserRankImages3"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages4UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages4">
            <li class="UserRankImages4"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages5UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages5">
            <li class="UserRankImages5"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages6UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages6">
            <li class="UserRankImages6"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages7UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages7">
            <li class="UserRankImages7"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages8UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages8">
            <li class="UserRankImages8"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages9UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages9">
            <li class="UserRankImages9"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages10UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages10">
            <li class="UserRankImages10"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages11UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages11">
            <li class="UserRankImages11"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helpera ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages12UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages12">
            <li class="UserRankImages12"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages13UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages13">
            <li class="UserRankImages13"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages14UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages14">
            <li class="UserRankImages14"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages15UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages15">
            <li class="UserRankImages15"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages16UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages16">
            <li class="UserRankImages16"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages17UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages17">
            <li class="UserRankImages17"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages18UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages18">
            <li class="UserRankImages18"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages19UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages19">
            <li class="UserRankImages19"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages20UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages20">
            <li class="UserRankImages20"></li>
        </xen:if>
        
    </ul>
</xen:if>

However when I try to swap it for "elseif" and go from 20-1 rather than 1-20 it refuses to save the template because of syntax error... Is the elseif limited to one per if statement?

Below gives error: "The following templates contained errors and were not saved: UserRankImages: Line 69: Template syntax error." Which is the class closing tag.

Code: 
<xen:require css="UserRankImages.css" />
    
<xen:if is="@UserRankImagesActive">

    <ul class="UserRankImages">
        
        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages20UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages20">
                {<li class="UserRankImages20"></li>}
                <xen:elseif is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages19UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages19">
                    {<li class="UserRankImages19"></li>}
                    
                    <xen:elseif is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, @UserRankImages18UserGroup} AND @UserRankImages18">

Each elseif needs to end with /> not >

And I believe (could be wrong and probably am) the last elsif should be a <xen:else />.

I wish I could kiss you right about now!!!!!

<3

Needless to say you were correct (though I dont think the xen:else/> is needed as it works without) but the ending tag! How could I have missed that haha, anyway thank you!
